One and a half million Armenians lost their lives and over 500.000 surviving refugees rebuilt their lives outside of Armenia. many of them coming to the United States to build their new homes. The ArmenianAmerican population. many of whom reside in my district. have prospered in the United States and contributed to our cultural enrichment. enhanced our diversity and become strong members of our society. Despite the calculated effort to banish the Armenian people from their land and eradicate Armenian culture and tradition. today the Republic of Armenia is striving to establish a strong and progressive nation committed to establishing democratic institutions and ideals.
