Mr. President. April 24 is the day Armenians commemorate the massacres. deportations. and other horrors that befell their people in 1915 and later during World War I. It is a day of remembering. of solemn reflection. As Armenians mourn. it has become customary for their friends in the U.S. Congress to mark the day with them. to express their solidarity. to share their outrage. and to join their voices in unified resolve to make sure that the world does not forget the genocide which took place at that time. Such annual commemorations do not mean that we think about the victims only once a year.
