Today, Congressman Josh Gottheimer, a member of the Congressional
Armenian Caucus, commemorated Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day to

"I am proud to stand with colleagues on both sides of the aisle and
New Jersey's Armenian community to commemorate the 103rd anniversary
of the Armenian Genocide," said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). "I
am proud to join more than 100 members of Congress to call on this
Administration to commemorate Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. We
owe it to the victims, survivors, and future generations to bear
witness and tell the truth about genocide."
