That is the purpose of Senate Joint Resolution 212. We seek to send a message once again to citizens of our own country and the international community that the Armenian Genocide of 1915 through 1923 should not be relegated to the dust bin of history. Documented reports from that horrible chapter in the history of mans inhumanity to his fellow man show that an estimated 1.5 million Armenians out of 2.3 OttomanArmenians either died or were deported from their homelanda homeland which had been theirs for 3.000 years. Human rights concerns among the various religious denominations were as deepseated in the early 20th century as they are today. Much of the information concerning the Armenian genocide in the old Ottoman Empire came from Protestant missionaries working in Armenia.
