Speaker. it is appropriate to remember and honor the victims of the Armenian genocide. both to remind us of their fate and to strengthen our resolve that such slaughters should never again happen. At the same time. even as we recognize the sadness of the occasion we commemorate today. we are also reminded that this is a day of joy as well. for it also reminds us that the tragedy that befell the Armenian people earlier in this century was not the end of the Armenian saga.

In time. however. the spirit of the Armenian people revived. In time.
