“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize another ethnic group that has made so many contributions to America, the Armenian community, to underscore the importance and the strong relationship between the United States and Armenia. The United States has enjoyed a long history working with the Armenian people toward a shared vision of a free and democratic society. The Armenian community has risen over the past 100 years, after facing one of the most atrocious acts in human history: the first genocide in the 20th century. Notwithstanding that, they have prevailed and continue to grow stronger, not only in Armenia, but also throughout the world. In 2018, we witnessed the Armenian people standing up and peacefully demonstrating for change in their country, and it happened. Nearly 1 year later, the dawn of a new era represents an opportunity for the country and its people to reach their full potential. The United States can provide valuable support and help to empower the Armenian people in this new and exciting chapter in their country. I am pleased, therefore, to support H.R. 452, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with my colleagues to continue to strengthen the bilateral relations between the United States and the Republic of Armenia.
