In a single night. the voice of the Armenian nation in Turkey was silenced. From that infamous date until 1923. 1.5 million Armenians died from the Ottoman Empires attempts to eliminate the Armenian peopie. According to the United States Ambassador to Turkey at that time. "When the TurkIsh authorities gave the orders for these deportations. they were merely giving the death warrant to a whole race. they understood this well and in their conversations with me. they made no particular attempt to conceal the fact." Mr. Speaker. we must remember this deplorable example of mans Inhumanity towards his fellow man. so that we can renew both our responsibility and our pledge to prevent the repetition of similar atrocities against any other people anywhere in the world. I thank my colleagues.
