I cosponsored this joint resolution in the deepest hope that the continued recognition of this atrocity will serve as a chilling lesson to ourselves and our children of the horrors that can be born of hatred and intolerance. Conceived by the Turkish Government and implemented during an 8. year period. the Holocaust of the Armenian nation is documented extensively in the archives of the United States. Austria. France. Germany. and Great Britain. Throughout the scores of testimony and manuscripts the facts remain irrefutable: 1.5 Armenians were exterminated and 500.000 survivors were deported. resulting in the elimination of a 2.500year Armenian presence in its historical homeland. The involvement of the U.S. Government In efforts to aid the Armenians in their fight for survival continues to serve as a proud if not painful comparison between the two nations.
