Mr. President. I rise today to note that this day has been designated a day of remembrance for the victims of one of the greatest tragedies of a brutal century. During the final years of Ottoman rule some 1.5 million ethnic Armenians were killed and several hundred thousand Armenians were deported. The U.S. Ambassador at the time. Henry Morganthau. wrote: "I am confident that the whole history of the human race contains no such horrible episode as this." This horrible event is perhaps more relevant today than we would like to admit. With the end of the cold war. ethnic conflict has exploded around the globe.
