Speaker, With Mixed Emotions We Mark The 50th Anniversary Of The Turkish Genocide Of The Armenian People. In Taking Notice Of The Shocking Events In 1915, We Observe This Anniversary With Sorrow In Recalling The Massacres Of Armenians And With Pride In Saluting Those Brave Patriots Who Survived To Fight On The Side Of Freedom During World War I.
