I think. perhaps the most important development is not that the Congress of the United States kowtowed to an Ottoman regime of a bygone era. but rather the tremendous spirit that the Armenian people have shown in the years following 1915. We have seen this people here. come here to the United States. establish communities. work very. very hard and diligently. establish their own schools and culture. partake in the American culture. but maintain their own roots. maintain their own language. maintain their own churches. go to their own dances. and at the same time contribute so tremendously to the life and culture of the people here in the United States. I do not think there is any group of ethnic people here that have emigrated to the United States for a more fundamental political purpose who have kept their hope of their people alive here in the United States by taking the time to pass along the basic elements of their culture generation after generation to make certain that the Armenian national psyche. that the Armenian national character continued to exist here in the United States. That. I think. could not have been demonstrated more clearly than when just a few years ago a terrible earthquake did great damage to that small yet important region of this world known as Armenia.
