Mr Speaker. I am once again rising to honor the anniversary of the 1915 Armenian Genocide to remember the 1.5 million Armenian men. women. and children who were killed. and the additional 500.000 Armenians who were forcibly deported by the Ottoman Empire during an eightyear reign of brutal repression. As history reveals. a group of Armenian leaders were forcibly taken into Turkey on April 15. 1915. and subsequently murdered. Over the next eight years. Armenians were deprived of their homes. their humanity. and ultimately their lives. In addition. postWorld War I did not see those who were responsible come to justice.
