Mr. Speaker. I join my colleagues today in performing a sacred and important task. I rise today to acknowledge and remember the tragic genocide that was conceived and implemented by the Turkish Government from 1915 to 1923. resulting in the extermination of 1 /Va million Armenian men. women. and children. the deportation of an additional 500.000 survivors. and the elimination of a 2.500year Armenian presence in its historic homeland. To this very day. the Turkish Government has continued to deny its actions of destruction against the Armenians. Moreover. Turkey has expressed its discontent with the United States. which has condemned the Turkish Government for its actions.
