Madam Speaker. I rise today to recognize and commemorate the 93rd Anniversary of the Armenian genocide. Since being elected to the U.S. Congress. I have come to the floor of the House every year to solemnly remember the atrocities that began on April 24. 1915when the Ottoman government ordered the deportation of 2.5 million Armenians and oversaw the murder 1.5 million Armenian men. women. and children. Today. as I stand for the 10th time in recognition of the Armenian genocide. I do so with one major distinction from years past. This year is different because the House Foreign Affairs Committee has formally recognized the Armenian genocide.
