“I have come to this House floor again, along with the gentleman from New Jersey and many other colleagues, to remember the 82d anniversary of the beginning of the massacre that would ultimately claim over 1 million Armenian dead, and untold suffering by those who came after them. It is particularly sad for me that this House must gather year after year to commemorate this tragic event and to secure recognition in memory for it, and press for the acknowledgment of this terrible tragedy and shameful place in history by Turkey. Unfortunately, the sad history of this massacre that took place in Turkey so many years ago is often overlooked. This leaves the historical reality of the plight of the Armenian people vulnerable to efforts to minimize or even deny the terror that was unleashed against their ancestors, unleashed in the first decade and a half of this century.”
