Mr. President. I rise today to join with my distinguished colleagues from Michigan. Senators Levin and Riegle. in commemorating the 68th anniversary of Armenian Martyrs Day. This day marks the events that took place between 1915 and 1923 in which more than 1.5 million Armenians were systematically deported and murdered by a declining Ottoman Empire. The rich heritage of the Armenian people dates back over 3.000 years and it is only through sheer courage and determination that their culture survives today. Located at what is commonly referred to as "the crossroads of the world". between the Caspian. Black. and Mediterranean Seas.
