I rise today on this somber occasion to pay tribute to the victims of the Armenian Genocide. and to remind our nation and the world about one of the greatest tragedies and darkest moments of the 20th Century. On April 24. 1915. the Armenian Genocide began. Within the next eight years. 1.5 million Armenians had been massacred and 500.000 more had been deported during the final years of the Ottoman Empire. They were denied their freedom. deprived of their possessions. and systematically massacred. For those who have spent years attempting to refute the facts or minimize the extent of this tragedy. the facts are indisputable.
