    MORE US STATES RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    WASHINGTON, APRIL 30, ARMENPRESS: Tennessee, Nebraska, and
    Louisiana have joined the fast growing number of states who have
    acknowledged the Armenian Genocide, reported the Armenian National
    Committee of America (ANCA). Democratic Governor Phil Bredesen of
    Tennessee, Republican Governor Mike Johanns of Nebraska, and
    Democratic Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco issued proclamations
    citing a "Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide," referring to
    the Ottoman Turkish campaign of eliminate the Armenian population
    from 1915-1923. The total number of states in the US reaffirming the
    Armenian Genocide has now reached 36.
    In the course of the last month, five new states have issued
    proclamations for the Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide. All of
    the proclamations mark April 23 or 24 as an official Day of
    Remembrance.
