  U.S. Congresswoman: acknowledging Genocide will help heal the pain April 25, 2012 - 00:06 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - U.S. Congresswoman Linda Sánchez (CA-39) released the following statement in recognition of Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day: “Today, we solemnly mark the 97th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide by remembering the 1.5 million Armenians who were murdered in the waning years of the Ottoman Empire. I hope that acknowledging this atrocity will help heal the pain caused by the horrendous events in 1915. “As a proud co-sponsor of H. Res. 304 which calls on the President to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide, I believe it is incredibly important to acknowledge the atrocities. It is my sincere hope that this recognition will help the Turkish and Armenian governments foster a peaceful, mutually beneficial relationship. I would like to express my sympathy to all descendants of Armenian Genocide victims and hope we can all take time to reflect on this solemn day.”   Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
