Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) News Release

WASHINGTON, DC — Representative Brad Sherman (D-CA) released the
following statement on the attacks on Armenian civilians in Kessab,
Syria.

“I am deeply concerned by the dire situation in Kessab, Syria.

Extremist forces have reportedly crossed the border from Turkey into
Kessab, an area inhabited mostly by Armenians. Hundreds of families
have been forced to leave their homes for fear of their safety. There
are reports that the forces entering Kessab are desecrating churches
and pillaging Armenian homes. I have been in contact with the State
Department and have urged them to take the necessary actions to
assist the Armenians in Syria. Turkey must take immediate action to
help prevent extremist attacks on Armenian civilians.”

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
