    COMMUNITY TO OBSERVE 94TH ANNIVERSARY OF GENOCIDE IN MONTEBELLO

    www.asbarez.com/index.html?showarticle =41127_4/3/2009_1
    Friday, April 3, 2009

    Every year, the date April 24 symbolizes the premeditated Genocide
    perpetrated by Turkey against Armenians.

    As a consequence of the Genocide, not only did 1.5 million innocent
    Armenians lose their lives, but an incalculable economic and cultural
    legacy was lost as well. Most importantly, however, a large area
    of our millennia-old fatherland was usurped by the Turks. Today, 94
    years after the beginning of the Armenian Genocide, Western Armenia
    continues to remain under Turkish occupation.

    The Armenian nation will never cease its pursuit of justice. We are
    the masters of our demands and our destiny.

    April 24th symbolizes the day marking the Armenian nation's rightful
    demands.

    As in previous years, this year on April 24th we will remember our
    martyrs, and make our voices heard via political demonstrations and
    commemorative observances. From Yerevan to Tehran, Beirut to Buenos
    Aires, and Paris to Stepanakert, the Armenian people will unite and
    remind the world that justice has yet to be served.

    In Southern California, on Friday, April 24, 2009 a political rally
    and commemorative observance will be held at the Armenian Martyrs
    Memorial Monument in Montebello beginning at 11:00 am. Details of
    this event will be publicized in the near future.

    We appeal to every Armenian family and each individual Armenian
    to participate in the commemorative observance in Montebello and
    collectively proclaim our just demands upon the world.
