are heavy and last more than seven days; 
Whereas the only way currently available to be certain of an 
endometriosis diagnosis is to have a surgical procedure 
known as a laparoscopy; 
Whereas endometriosis primarily affects women in their 30s 
and 40s, but can affect any woman who menstruates; 
Whereas women experience a delay from three to eleven years 
between the first symptoms of pain and the final endo-
metriosis diagnosis, which can lead to lower quality of life 
and high medical costs; 
Whereas for many girls and women, endometriosis is a life-
long chronic disease that can affect relationships, school 
and work, fertility, and daily life; 
Whereas the primary symptoms of endometriosis include pain 
and infertility, and many with endometriosis live with de-
bilitating, chronic pain; 
Whereas endometriosis is one of the three main causes of fe-
male infertility, and between 30 and 50 percent of women 
with endometriosis experience infertility; 
Whereas health care providers must focus on managing the 
symptoms of endometriosis, which may include IVF, low- 
dose oral contraceptives, IUDs, pain killers (NSAIDs), 
and GnRH therapy; and 
Whereas there is a need for further research and increased 
research funding for endometriosis, which could lead to 
earlier detection and the discovery of the cause of the dis-
ease, a reliable, less invasive way to diagnose the disease, 
more effective ways to manage symptoms, and a cure:

Whereas continued aggression by Turkey and its proxies

Whereas Turkey has sent between 3,500 and 3,800 paid Syr-

Turkish soldiers to Libya to fight in its civil war, under-
mining the peace and reconciliation process there and 
providing a haven for terrorist organizations; 
Whereas Turkey has escalated its involvement in the conflict 
between Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh, previously 
offering political support for Azerbaijan’s position, but 
now providing direct military support; 
Whereas Turkey maintains a closed border with the Republic 
of Armenia, a country with friendly relations with the 
United States, and has repeatedly issued threats against 
the Republic of Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh, and Arme-
