AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) – Tuesday the Maine State Senate will
recognize the Armenia Genocide.
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 here in Maine and
they want to recognize those survivors’ contributions to our state,
and express sympathy for the families of those who died.
