The Armenian National Committee of America - Burbank (ANCA - B), the
Armenian Youth Federation (AYF) Burbank 'Varak' Chapter, Homenetment
"Sipan" Chapter and the Burbank High School (BHS) Armenian Club have
teamed up this year to commemorate the 97th Anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide on Tuesday, April 24.
The commemoration will begin with a short remembrance program led
by ANCA - B's Annette Kargodorian during the Burbank City Council
meeting. BHS Armenian Club will showcase a video presentation and, as
is Burbank tradition, the City Council will present its proclamation
in recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
A candlelight vigil will follow in front of Burbank City Hall,
during which longtime ANCA activist Stepan Boyadjian will serve
as the keynote speaker. There will be posting of the colors by the
Homenetmen Burbank "Sipan" Chapter as well as various performances
by members of the ARF Badanegan 'Gaidzag' Chapter.
"The Armenian-American youth recognizes the importance in unifying
to promote awareness. For this reason, we urge people of all ages
to come together and support this event," stated BHS Armenian Club
member Ani Ovasapyan.
