"Today, the world solemnly marks 107 years since the Ottoman Empire began an inhuman campaign of mass murder and devastation: a genocide that stole the lives of 1.5 million Armenian men, women and children.
Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day shines a light on a monstrous truth while honoring those murdered and those who survived unspeakable horror.
In 2019, the Congress voted to recognize that the violence inflicted on the Armenian people constituted a genocide: a bold statement of America's commitment to human rights & truth. Last year, @POTUS made history by echoing that powerful message from our nation's highest office.
May this solemn day always renew our courage and strength to stand up for the universal right to life, dignity and peace -- for every person, everywhere. "
