The fact that today the Armenian nation is on its feet. fighting for the liberation of its homeland from the new Soviet tyranny. is conclusive evidence that the Armenians were and are a people with a deep faith in freedom. I hope that we in the United States will learn something from this terrible example of history. and will even now. at this late date. proceed to ratify the Genocide Convention. which is now pending before the Senate. but which the administration has unfortunately and unwisely abandoned and ceased to support. Today many Armenians are living in refugee camps throughout the Western World and are refusing to return to their homelands. The United States has an obligation to these people which must be fulfilled by implementing the Refugee Relief Act of 1953. whose purposes have so unhappily been frustrated. and. further. by revising the McCarranWalter Immigration and Nationality Act. The United States must provide a haven for its fair share of these homeless peoples. as well as the many other refugees and escapees who have fled or have been displaced by the forces of tyranny.
