Udall Issues Statement Commemorating Armenian Genocide Anniversary
WASHINGTON
The office of Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., issued the following news release:
Mark Udall, who serves on the U.S. Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence and the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, issued the
following statement commemorating the anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide:
“Today marks the anniversary of the start of the terrible and tragic
Armenian Genocide. Beginning on this date in 1915, more than half of
the Armenian population was murdered, including 1.5 million men, women
and children, and a half million more forced into exile,” Udall said.
“I stand with the Armenian community and the world today when I say,
‘Never again.’ We should never forget this tragedy, and we should
redouble our efforts to ensure that genocide never occurs. The United
States has a unique role to play in the world to prevent these
tragedies from happening, and we should never lose sight of that
responsibility.”
