On March 16 the Armenian National Committee Rhode Island (ANC of RI)
Chapter held its second annual "Flags over Rhode Island" recognition
event in Aramian Hall at Sts. Vartanantz Church. Due to this event,
the Armenian flag will proudly fly over the cities of the State of
Rhode Island on April 24.
The program will continue this year with special events scheduled
for April 23 at the Cranston City Hall and April 24 at the North
Providence Town Hall.
As ANC-RI co-chairman Stephen Elmasian mentioned, "The flags symbolize
our strength of survival in remembrance of the victims of the Armenian
Genocide that took place from 1915-1923."
Forty-four individuals, organizations and businesses sponsored flags
that flew over 37 city and town halls and the RI State House on
April 24th last year. This marked an increase of 15 sponsors from
the previous year.
