GOTTHEIMER COMMEMORATES ARMENIAN GENOCIDE REMEMBRANCE DAY;
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) News Release

SECTION: U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DOCUMENTS


Today, Congressman Josh Gottheimer, a member of the Congressional
Armenian Caucus, commemorated Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day to
honor the victims of the Armenian Genocide of 1915.

"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."

Rep. Gottheimer is a proud cosponsor of H.Res. 220, the bipartisan
Armenian Genocide resolution. Last year, Rep. Gottheimer offered
remarks at a commemoration of the Armenian Genocide at Sts. Vartanantz
Armenian Apostolic Church in Ridgefield, New Jersey, and this year
joined the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) and members
of the Congressional Armenian Caucus at the U.S. Capitol.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
