Congressman David N. Cicilline (RI-01) today issued the following statement in observance on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.
“Today, on the 107th Anniversary, as we honor the memories of the 1.5 million people killed during the Armenian Genocide, I remain committed to ensuring that all Americans not only acknowledge, but also learn about and from this atrocity. Last week, I joined with my colleagues in introducing the Armenian Genocide Education Act, bipartisan legislation that will provide our teachers with the resources they need to educate our children on the atrocities of the Armenian Genocide and the consequences of intolerance and hate.
