    On April 20, 2010, members of the Armenian Council of America joined
    Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor Michael Antonovich who presented
    the Los Angeles Armenian community with a proclamation signed by
    the Board of Supervisors commemorating the 95th anniversary of the
    Armenian Genocide.

    The proclamation declares April 24, 2010, as a "Day of Remembrance for
    the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923," throughout Los Angeles County to
    secure closure, healing and understanding for those impacted by the
    genocide including the 350,000 Armenian Americans that live in the
    County." In his remarks, Antonovich; who arranged the proclamation,
    reiterated the need to remember the Armenian Genocide and honor
    its victims.

    "Due to this horrible tragedy, the Armenian community is committed to
    ensuring that those who have died due to human rights atrocities are
    never forgotten," said Antonovich. "By consistently remembering and
    openly condemning the atrocities committed against the Armenians, Los
    Angeles County demonstrates its sensitivity to the need for constant
    vigilance to prevent similar events in the future."

    In thanking Supervisor Antonovich, ACA Board Members Peter Darakjian
    and Mehran Khatchadourian noted the deep gratitude of the Armenian
    American community which found refuge in Los Angeles a century ago,
    for his thoughtful efforts of remembrance and recognition of the
    Armenian Genocide.
