As we approach Armenian Remembrance Day, we gather at the Capitol to honor the lives lost in the Armenian Genocide. We must never forget, and we must never stop working to ensure it never happens again.

The Armenian genocide is a historical fact, end of story. For far too long, families were forced to carry their stories without the recognition they deserve.

Each April, Armenian Americans gather at the Capitol in Madison to commemorate the genocide of 1915-23 that was perpetrated on the Armenian people by the Ottoman Empire. I was honored to address this gathering today.
