My statement on the #ArmenianGenocide.
#ThankYouJoe for your courageous leadership. Thank you to all the activists and the Armenian community who kept pushing for recognition of the truth.
The #ArmenianGenocide took place between spring 1915 and autumn 1916. At least 664,000 people and possibly as many as 1.2 million died during the genocide.
We join with Armenians around the world in remembering the #ArmenianGenocide and mourning the human beings murdered during that human-made atrocity. π¦π²

On #ArmenianGenocide Remembrance Day, I stand in solidarity with the Armenian community in Southern California as we mourn & remember this tragedy.
I applaud @POTUS for officially recognizing this dark chapter in history & helping ensure it never happens again.
Thanks to @JoeBiden for telling truth on the #ArmenianGenocide.
Hope next steps are more practical for eradicating its consequences & preventing new crimes against #Armenian|s & other nations worldwide.
Justice for #Artsakh/#Karabakh should follow this value-based step.
Words have power. I was proud to sign on to a letter urging @POTUS to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide β and grateful he did so today.
On #ArmenianGenocideRemembranceDay, we recognize this unspeakable tragedy and honor the lives of those lost.
President Biden became the first US president to acknowledge the killing of more than a million Armenians by Ottoman Turks more than a century ago as genocide, a move that could complicate an already strained relationship between the US and Turkey. https://t.co/3YasFpbQ2I
Grateful to @POTUS for officially recognizing the Armenian Genocide. By recognizing historical facts, President Biden is sending a signal to the world that truth and human rights are at the forefront of United States foreign policy. https://t.co/ujqoce7FKn
