Mr. Speaker, tomorrow marks the 92nd anniversary of the start of the Armenian genocide. In January, I introduced a resolution in the House, along with my colleagues, Mr. Pallone, Mr. Knollenberg and Mr. Radanovich, that would recognize the Armenian genocide. This resolution should be passed. Ghazaros Kademian is one reason why. Ghazaros Kademian was just 6 years old when his family was forced into exile by Ottoman Turks bent on annihilating the Armenian people. His father was murdered by Turk gendarmes, and the rest of his family was forced to flee on foot to Kirkuk, where his mother died from cold and hunger. He was separated from his siblings and orphaned. Mr. Kademian's story is terrible, but is not remarkable.
