YEREVAN, APRIL 26, ARMENPRESS: Governor of the State of California
Edmund G. Brown proclaimed April 24, 2012 as "Day of Remembrance of the
Armenian Genocide", reports Armenpress citing Governor's press office.
Edmund G. Brown's statement runs as follows: "Between 1915 and 1923,
Armenians were subjected to torture, starvation, mass murder and
exile from their historic homeland. 1.5 million lost their lives. The
Armenian Genocide, also known as the "First Genocide of the Twentieth
Century," represented a deliberate attempt by the Ottoman Empire to
eliminate all traces of a thriving noble civilization.
Armenian communities all over the world commemorate this tragedy
on April 24. On this day, we honor the victims and survivors of the
genocide, and reaffirm our commitment to preventing future atrocities
from being committed against any people. In witness whereof I have
hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of
California to be affixed this 19th day of April 2012".
