This incident marks a dark and solemn period in the history the Armenian people. From 1915 to 1923. the Ottoman Empire launched a systematic campaign to exterminate Armenians. In eight short years. more than 1.5 million Armenians suffered through atrocities such as deportation. forced slavery and torture. Most were ultimately murdered. Many of our companions in the international community have already taken a final step towards healing and reconciliation. The European Parliament and the United Nations have recognized and reaffirmed the Armenian Genocide as historical fact. as have the Russian and Greek parliaments. the Canadian House of Commons. the Lebanese Chamber of Deputies and the French National Assembly.
