Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joseph R. Biden,
Jr. (D-DE) issued the following statement today on the Day of
Remembrance for the Armenian Genocide, April 24, 2007:
"The Armenian Genocide stands among history’s most terrible examples
of man’s inhumanity towards man. As we memorialize its victims
and mourn their loss today and all days, I hope we will also learn
its lessons. Let us rededicate ourselves to ensuring that future
generations never endure similar horrors. And let us take courage in
the example of millions of Armenians and Armenian Americans who have
refused to be defined by tragedy, but have rather defined themselves
through their resilience, their accomplishments and their determination
to build a better future."
