    The City of Fresno, Councilmember Tom Boyajian's Office along with the
    Armenian National Committee of Central California will raise the
    Armenian flag in front of Fresno's City Hall to commemorate the
    Armenian Genocide of 1915 on April 22nd, 2006 at 10:00AM. The
    Armenian flag will be raised by the Homenetmen Scouts, while the
    United States flag will be raised by the Fresno High School ROTC. This
    event is free to the public and everyone is encouraged to attend.

    This is the third year that the Armenian flag will be raised to
    commemorate the Genocide. Last year Congressman George Radanovich,
    Congressman Jim Costa, State Senator Charles Poochigian and Fresno
    Mayor Alan Autry spoke to the 500 plus crowd.

    Fresno was one of the first cities that the Armenian Genocide
    survivors sought refuge in. Fresno County is home to approximately
    50,000 Armenians.
