U.S. President Joe Biden issued a statement on the 109th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
“Today, we pause to remember the lives lost during the Meds Yeghern—the Armenian genocide—and renew our pledge to never forget,” Biden noted.
It is mentioned in the statement that the U.S. honors the resilience of the Armenian people.
“After enduring one of the darkest chapters in human history, survivors began forging a better future for our world. With courage and commitment, they rebuilt their lives. They preserved their culture. They strengthened the fabric of nations around the world—including our own. And they told their stories to ensure that the mass atrocities that began on this day 109 years ago are never again repeated. This remains our solemn vow. Today—and every day—the United States will continue to stand up for human rights and speak out against intolerance,” reads the statement.
