                   REMEMBERING THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RASHIDA TLAIB

                        Saturday, April 20, 2024

  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today I want to recognize the 109th 
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and stand in solidarity in the 
remembrance of the millions of lives lost during this tragic event.
  Let us not forget the hate and mistreatment Armenian families faced 
and make sure that this terrible event is never forgotten in the minds 
of Americans and our history. The Armenian Genocide was one of the 
darkest moments in human history, resulting in the deaths of 
approximately a million Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Empire. 
Today, let us be reminded to always treat our neighbors with love and 
human dignity, and inspired by the memory of those lost, to never stop 
fighting for a better world in their honor.
  I join the Armenian communities of Michigan and across my district in 
recognizing the 109th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide as we 
remember the lives of the loved ones lost a century ago.
