I have also joined a number of my congressional colleagues in writing President Clinton urging that he. too. issue a strong statement of remembrance and recognition of the Armenian genocide as a crime against humanity. On April 24. 1915. despots of the Ottoman Empire began a systematic campaign of terror. brutality and murder against the Armenian people. This campaign was the first genocide of the 20th century. By the end of the campaign of terror in 1923. 1.5 million Armenian men. women. and children had been massacred and more than 500.000 had been deported from their homeland of 3.000 years. These actions were a clear case of genocide. The genocide was horrific. it is welldocumented and it must not be forgotten.
