    Dear Friend:

    Recently, I joined a bipartisan majority of my colleagues on the
    Senate Foreign Relations Committee in voting to approve S.Res.410,
    which remembers and observes the 99th anniversary of the Armenian
    Genocide. To read this bipartisan resolution, please click here.

    I am proud to be a co-sponsor of S.Res.410, which calls the death of
    1.5 million Armenians who died at the hands of the Ottoman Empire
    between 1915 and 1923 by its rightful name - genocide. In addition,
    the resolution directs the President to ensure that the foreign policy
    of the United States reflects an appropriate understanding of issues
    related to human rights, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing,
    and the Armenian Genocide.

    As we approach next year's 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide,
    be assured that I will keep working to ensure that this unspeakable
    crime is fully acknowledged, never forgotten, and never repeated.

    Sincerely,
    Barbara Boxer
    United States Senator
