Mr. Speaker. at this time of year the descendants and relatives of those Armenians who died in the series of deportations and executions organized by the Turkish Ottoman Empire during the First World War gather at ceremonies across America to honor those victims memory. I am pleased to join in this special order today. organized to commemorate those who died in that series of brutal programs and attacksthe effects of which were tantamount to a campaign of genocide. Although those who died in those tragic and violent days did not live to see it. the Armenian nation has now reemerged. despite the terrible loss of life that has been suffered under the Ottoman Empire and the eight decades of communist dictatorship under the former Soviet Union.
