ArmInfo. Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger proclaimed
April 20-27, 2008 as "Days of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide",
Armenian Assembly of America told ArmInfo.
The Proclamation says in particular: "Every April we take time to
commemorate the lives of those forever devastated by the Armenian
Genocide.
Between 1915 and 1923 more than one million Armenian were killed in
the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and countless more lost everything
they owned. Intellects and store owners, children and seniors, men and
women, people from all walks of life were victims of these horrific
acts. Often listed as the first genocide of the twentieth century,
these events had a life-alerting impact on many, and stimulated an
Armenian Diaspora. I ask all Californians to take time this week
to reflect on this tragedy and its consequences. In joining our
friends in the Armenian-American community in this observance, all
of California helps remember the lives that were lost or changed by
these fateful events".
To note, Armenian Genocide was recognized by 23 countries of the
world and 42 states of the USA.
