In fact. it was Hitler who uttered the infamous statement. "Who remembers the Armenians?" Today we stand here in this Chamber and in places around our Nation to do just that. to remember the Armenians. remember the martyrs. to say we will always remember them and we will never let the world forget the Armenian genocide that occurred at the hands of the Ottoman Turks. It was just over 81 years ago that 1.5 million Armenians were systematically murdered and another 500.000 were driven from their homeland during the 8year genocide. Revisionist historians have sadly doubted the historical reality of the genocide. The Armenians were not killed indiscriminately or at random. The Armenians murdered between 1915 and 1923 were the victims of a calculated extermination through starvation. torture and deportation. a genocide In every cruel meaning of the word and nothing less. Earlier today back in my district. Mayor Peter Torigian of Peabody.
