A longstanding Armenian Assembly trustee and activist, Senator Joseph Lieberman stated that the issue of U.S. affirmation of the Armenian Genocide "cuts to the heart not only of our foreign policy, but of our morality as a nation."

Lieberman, in describing the "systematic and deliberate campaign of mass murder perpetrated against the Armenian people," stated that "even by the bloody standards of the 20th century, the annihilation of 1.5 million Armenians was one of the greatest crimes against humanity committed in the last hundred years - an evil we have a solemn duty never to forget."
"As we look to the 95th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide this April 24, Senator Lieberman provides us with a poignant reminder of the importance of remembering history, and the need to redouble our efforts to end the scourge of genocide," stated AAA Executive Director Bryan Ardouny.
