AT THE CALIFORNIA STATE ASSEMBLY
PRELATE AND REPRESENTATIVES PRESENTED WITH PROCLAMATIONS AFFIRMING THE
ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
As it has done in previous years, this year too, the California State
Assembly had on its agenda the issue of the Armenian Genocide at its
Thursday, April 27 session.
H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, departed for
Sacramento on Thursday to attend the opening of the State Assembly's
session. Also present at the opening was the Honorable Gagik Giragossian,
Consul General of the Republic of Armenia, and Armenian National Committee
representatives Armen Carapetian, Aida Dimidjian, and others.
The Prelate conducted the opening prayer and delivered his
message to Senate and Assembly members.
On this occasion, the Assembly has issued a proclamation
affirming the Genocide of Armenians by the Turkish government, which they
officially presented to the Prelate, the Consul General, and ANC
representatives. Later on, during the general session, there was a moment
of silence for the 1.5 million victims of the Genocide.
The Prelate reminded the Assembly of the injustices committed by
the Turkish government, which to this day go unpunished, and expressed hope
that following the example of European governments, the government of this
great nation too will recognize the Genocide and demand justice.
During the session, it was touching to see the students of
Krouzian-Zekarian-Vasbouragan Armenian School and their teachers, with whom
the Prelate and representatives had an intimate discussion.
Let us remember that Governor Arnold Schwarzenneger proclaimed
April 23-29 `Days of Remembrance' of the Armenian Genocide.
