    Whitehouse: Armenian Genocide Must Never Be Repeated

    Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Whitehouse (D-R.I.) today released
    the following statement commemorating Armenian Genocide Remembrance
    Day:

    `The only way to prevent crimes against humanity in the future is to
    shine light on the past. I'm proud to support the Senate's efforts to
    recognize the tragedy that befell the Armenians for what it was - a
    genocide that must never, ever be repeated.'

    Whitehouse is a cosponsor of Senate Resolution 106, which calls on
    the President to ensure that U.S. foreign policy acknowledges as
    genocide the killings of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire
    from 1915 to 1923.
