In my 15 years in the U.S. Senate. I have received thousands of letters from members of the ArmenianAmerican community in my home State of Callfornia. encouraging our government to recognize the Armenian Genocide. Many of them are descendants of the genocides survivors. who immigrated to the United States and. over the course of a few decades. built a strong and vibrant community in California and elsewhere. For the genocides victims. there can be no justice. But by preserving and cherishing their memory. we can begin healing the wounds that still linger. The recent murder of Hrant Dink. a TurkishArmenian journalist who championed human rights and advocated Turkish recognition of the Armenian Genocide. serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers that loom in our silence.
