“When we speak of genocide we are talking about an attack on humanity,” remarked Michetti, who then read a poem by William Saroyan.

“The genocide was recognized by our country in 2007 by Law 26.199,” added the Vice President in the Cathedral San Gregorio the Illuminator, referring to the Day of action for tolerance and respect among peoples in commemoration of the genocide that was victim the Armenian people.

Sunderland 0-3 Man United: Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan & Rashford on target

Khoyetsian Rose

Manchester United kept their hopes of a Premier League top-four finish alive with a routine 3-0 win over 10-man Sunderland on Sunday, Goal.com reports.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s 28th goal of the season set the visitors on course at the Stadium of Light before Henrikh Mkhitaryan doubled the lead after Sebastian Larsson’s red card.

Larsson was  dismissed for a tackle on Ander Herrera and United made their extra advantage count early in the second half, as Mkhitaryan struck to kill the game before Marcus Rashford had the final say late on.

Substitute Rashford added gloss to the scoreline in the 89th minute with his first league goal since September, collecting Ibrahimovic’s throughball before drilling low across Pickford from 12 yards.

Adam Schiff: America must speak strongly about the fact of Armenian Genocide

Khoyetsian Rose

America must speak strongly and plainly about the facts of the Armenian Genocide and denounce all crimes against humanity, Represntative Adam Schiff (D-CA) says.

“Over a century ago, 1.5 million Armenians were killed by the Ottoman Empire in the first Genocide of the 20th century. America must speak strongly and plainly about the facts of the Armenian Genocide and denounce all crimes against humanity, if we are to live up to our moral and historic responsibility,” Rep. Schiff said in a Facebok post.

“We cannot take a principled stand against modern day genocides like those carried out by ISIS against religious minorities in Iraq and Syria if we are to pick and choose which horrors to recognize, or shrink from our responsibility because it might alienate friend or foe,” he added.

U.S. Representatives David Trott (R-MI) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) last week joined with their Congressional Armenian Caucus colleagues in introducing a calling on the United States to apply the lessons of the Armenian Genocide in seeking to prevent modern day atrocities across the Middle East
