U.S. Congressman Frank Pallone  has issued a statement on the occasion of the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, expressing solidarity with Armenian communities around the world.

“On this day in 1915, the genocide of over one million Armenians in the former Ottoman Empire began with the murder of Armenian intellectuals and community leaders.

This Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, I once again stand in solidarity with Armenian communities around the world and call upon our leaders to call this crime by its proper name,”  Pallone said in a post on X.
