following statement commemorating the anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide:

Armenian Genocide. Beginning on this date in 1915, more than half of
the Armenian population was murdered, including 1.5 million men, women
and children, and a half million more forced into exile," Udall said.
"I stand with the Armenian community and the world today when I say,
'Never again.' We should never forget this tragedy, and we should
redouble our efforts to ensure that genocide never occurs. The United

tragedies from happening, and we should never lose sight of that
responsibility."
