FOR DESIGN
COUNCIL LAUNCHES WEBSITE AND READIES FOR MONUMENT DESIGN COMPETITION
GLENDALE, CA (December 28 , 2004) - The Armenian Genocide Monument
Council of Glendale (AGMCG) announced on December 22 the launching of
their website (www.armeniangenocidemonument.com
<http://www.armeniangenocidemonument.com/> ) and the beginning of their
Monument design competition. The AGMCG will oversee the design and
construction of a commemorative monument in the City of Glendale
dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide, the first genocide of
the 20th Century. The monument will serve as a befitting venue to begin
the educational process of honoring the memory of those who perished and
acknowledging the memories of the heroic deeds and acts of the Americans
whose actions helped save thousands of helpless Armenian men, women and
children from the rage of the Genocide.
The AGMCG is a newly established organization and is dedicated to
enhancing cross cultural understanding amongst the different cultural
and ethnic groups in the City of Glendale by promoting respect for past
historical events and the recognition thereof through continuous
education, specifically that of the Armenian Genocide. In August of
2001, the City Council of Glendale adopted a motion to accept the gift
of a monument to honor the 1.5 million victims of the Armenian genocide
and the memory of Americans whose actions helped save thousands of
Armenian men, women and children from perishing in the genocide between
1915 and 1918.
On April 8, 2003, the Glendale City Council approved the final
location/site for the Genocide monument. The AGMCG has been working
very closely with City staff to oversee the monument selection process
and has established a Selection Committee comprised of community
leaders, architecture and design experts and public officials. The
announcement of the winner of the competition will take place in April
of 2005. April 24, 2005 marks the 90th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide. All parties interested in submitting a design may do so by
following the guidelines and rules for submission made available on the
AGMCG website.
