    Empire:

    "Nearly a century after the tragedy that befell the Armenian people in
    the waning days of the Ottoman Empire, we pause to reflect on the
    catastrophic loss of life and systematic killing and displacement of
    an unthinkable number of innocent civilians," said Bennet. "We stand
    with the Armenian people in remembrance of this genocide and reaffirm
    our commitment to ensuring that such a tragedy will never happen
    again."
