Nevada Senator Reid made the following statement in recognition of
the 95th Commemoration of Armenian Genocide.
"In recognition of the 95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide,
I honor the memories of the more than 1.5 million men, women and
children who perished in this unthinkable genocide.
"The time has come for our government to identify these organized
acts of mass violence for what they really were – genocide. In my
ongoing efforts to encourage our country to recognize the genocide,
I have co-sponsored the Armenian Genocide resolutions in the last
three Congresses.
"I believe that paying tribute to those affected by this tragedy is a
necessary step to combat future forms of violence and intolerance. I
am glad Nevada is included among the 40 states that have recognized
the Armenian Genocide, and hope our entire government soon follows."
