Commemoration Expected to be Catalyst for Renewed Effort
Burbank (CA)- The Armenian National Committee (ANC) Burbank's Genocide
Commemoration Committee will be holding a candlelight vigil outside of
Burbank city hall on Tuesday, April 27th at 7:30 PM.
The event will immediately follow the issuance by the Burbank City
Council of a proclamation (shortly after 6:00pm) acknowledging the 95th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Speakers from the community will
address the council.
The ANC of Burbank seeks to renew the effort to not only commemorate the
tragic events of this horrific time in mankind history, but to also
reaffirm that the only way to truly respect the lives lost is to
acknowledge this fact on a national level. "Recognition of the Armenian
genocide is crucial to preventing future genocides. Our federal
government must once and for all recognize the Armenian Genocide so
closure will be brought to a dark chapter in mankind's history", said
Armond Aghakhanian, Commemoration Committee Chair.
Our community, in its entirety, acknowledges the support of the Burbank
City Council in sustaining this fight to deliver the truth. Going
forward, the ANC of Burbank wishes to address those that deny the facts
on the premise that now is not the right time with a simple message.
There is no wrong time to do the right thing.
Who: ANC Burbank
What: Armenian Genocide Commemoration
When: Tuesday, April 27th at 6:00 p.m.
Where: Burbank City Hall. 275 East Olive Avenue Burbank, CA 91205.
