Eshoo (D-CA-18) 04/24/2022: Twitter thread – “Between 1915 and 1923, 1.5 million Armenians, and hundreds of thousands of Assyrians, Greeks, Syriacs, Arameans, Maronites, and other Christians were brutally and systematically slaughtered at the hands of the Ottoman Empire. Members of my own family were among those murdered, and my parents fled with my grandparents to America. What all of the persecuted had in common was that they were Christians. Today we recognize #ArmenianGenocide Remembrance Day and remember all those we lost.”
Iran
Deutch (D-FL-22) 04/25/2022: Tweet – “This weekend marked 4 years since Emad Shargi was wrongfully detained in Iran, despite being cleared of bogus charges. His family continues to fight for his release every day, and we fight with them. Iran must release Emad & other Americans now. Iranian hostage taking must end.”
Fallon (R-TX-4) 04/25/2022: Tweet – “While China, Russia, and Iran continue to modernize their nuclear capabilities, Biden wants to ignore his top military advisors and end our SLCM-N program. Ending this leg of our nuclear triad would prove detrimental to our capability to effectively deter our adversaries.”
Menendez (D-NJ) 04/24/2022: Retweet of @SFRCdems – “For 4 years, Emad Shargi has been unjustly detained in Iran under false charges. He languishes in the notorious Evin Prison, far from his loved ones. He, and all other unjustly detained Americans in Iran, must never be forgotten. We cannot rest until they are free. #FreeEmad Link to image”
Turkey
Pallone (D-NJ-6) 04/24/2022: Twitter thread – “Today we commemorate the 107th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and remember the 1.5 million Armenians who were systemically murdered by Ottoman Turks. We stand in support of Armenia and honor the memory of the victims of this dark chapter of history. As co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, I helped lead the effort in Congress to officially recognize this genocide so that we make sure these heinous acts are never committed again. Last year, President Biden made history as the first president to follow Congress' lead & recognize Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. We stand with the generations of Armenians who persevered despite Turkey's refusal to rightly recognize its role in the genocide.”
Sherrill (D-NJ-11) 04/24/2022: Twitter thread – “I grabbed lunch at Alev Mediterranean Grill in Rockaway, where I met owner Tulin Cagatay along with Rockaway Borough Mayor Tom Mulligan.

Stevens (D-MI-11) 04/24/2022: Retweet of @MariManoogian – “Today on #ArmenianGenocide Remembrance Day, Armenians around the world honor the memory of those who were killed at the hands of the Ottoman Turkish government beginning 107 years ago today, simply for being Armenian.

Hate to spend time at a campaign event, and not be seen. @yodaears2000 More to life than campaigning… your spiritual life is more important. Link to reply@damnlib @RepDonBacon @ShaferSkoog We all care in some way which leads to disappointment. Politicians are public servants; their lives are public & they commit to serving their constituents as a proxy. It is a difficult role which is why good people rarely take up the mantle (or stay good people after doing so). @NebraskaNice83 @damnlib @ShaferSkoog I won't hide my light and hope under a basket.”
Evans (D-PA-3) 04/25/2022: Retweet of @laurasgoldman – “In light of #Ukraine, I thought it was important to attend the Holocaust Remembrance commemoration at 16th and the Parkway.

Rosen (D-NV) 04/24/2022: Tweet – “As we observe #YomHashoah later this week, we remember those we lost and honor the survivors of the Shoah. The new Holocaust Memorial Plaza at King David Cemetery serves as a tribute to all who were murdered during the Holocaust, and a call to action to recommit to #NeverAgain. Link to image”

Cotton (R-AR) 04/25/2022: Tweet – ““Biden signals a message for the midterms: Democrats bring results, Republicans bring MAGA.“ The Democrats' results include 8% inflation, a border crisis, a crime wave, and turning over Afghanistan to the Taliban.
