    U.S. CONGRESSWOMAN: ACKNOWLEDGING GENOCIDE WILL HELP HEAL THE PAIN

    PanARMENIAN.Net
    April 24, 2012 - 23:58 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - U.S. Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (CA-39) released
    the following statement in recognition of Armenian Genocide Remembrance
    Day:

    "Today, we solemnly mark the 97th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide
    by remembering the 1.5 million Armenians who were murdered in the
    waning years of the Ottoman Empire. I hope that acknowledging this
    atrocity will help heal the pain caused by the horrendous events
    in 1915.

    "As a proud co-sponsor of H. Res. 304 which calls on the President to
    officially recognize the Armenian Genocide, I believe it is incredibly
    important to acknowledge the atrocities. It is my sincere hope that
    this recognition will help the Turkish and Armenian governments foster
    a peaceful, mutually beneficial relationship. I would like to express
    my sympathy to all descendants of Armenian Genocide victims and hope
    we can all take time to reflect on this solemn day."
