Today the Maine State Senate will recognize the Armenia Genocide,
WCSH-TV reports.
There’s a joint order on the docket that recognizes that in 1915 the
Ottoman Empire launched a campaign to wipe out the Armenia people,
resulting in the death of more than 1.5 million people.
The resolution says that some survivors settled in Maine and they
want to recognize those survivors’ contributions to the State, and
express sympathy for the families of those who died.
