I send my best wishes and expressions of solidarity to Armenian people around the world.

I applaud individuals in Armenia and Turkey who have sought to examine the historical events of the early 20th century with honesty and sensitivity.

On Armenian Remembrance Day, we remember the forced exile and mass killings of as many as 1.5 million Armenians during the last days of the Ottoman Empire.

We remain committed to a lasting and peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

I join my fellow Americans and Armenian people around the world in expressing my deepest condolences for this horrible loss of life.

We have an obligation to protect it.

With the leadership of men like these, the outcome of the struggle is assured: America will defeat freedom's enemies and ensure the security of our country for generations to come.

We have a duty and an obligation to protect our environment.

Since I took office, air pollution is down by more than 10 percent.

We are not going to respond to anonymous sources.

I want to thank General Dick Myers for his able service over four decades and his tireless dedication to duty and country.

I made a commitment to create, improve, and protect at least three million wetland acres over the next five years.

Preserving our national parks is essential for future generations to enjoy.

The water quality of the United States is good because we're strictly enforcing the law.

The Great Smoky National Park is one of the great examples of putting citizen stewardship into place.

There's reason to be optimistic about the issue moving forward.

Improving air quality is a priority of my administration.

As President, my most solemn duty is protecting the American people.

With the new regulations cutting diesel vehicle pollution by more than 90 percent, nearly every area in the two states... will be able to meet new strict health-based air quality standards.

The parks belong to the people, and the parks should be accessible to the people.

I'm confident that the great work that General Dick Myers set in motion at the Pentagon will continue under the leadership of General Pete Pace.

The first thing America needs to know about Pete Pace is that he is a marine.

It's possible to have economic growth and jobs and opportunity and, at the same time, be wise stewards of the land.

We have an obligation to maintain these valuable assets on behalf of the people.

Teaching is a noble profession.
