    NORTHERN ESSEX TO HOST GENOCIDE FORUM DEC. 5


    LAWRENCE, Mass., Nov. 30 -- Northern Essex Community College issued
    the following press release:

    Northern Essex Community College's Contemporary Affairs Club and
    Amnesty International Chapter will host a panel discussion on
    comparative genocides on Wednesday, Dec. 5 from noon to 1:30 p.m. on
    the Haverhill Campus, 100 Elliott St.

    The public forum will be held in the E Building, Room 155.

    On hand will be representatives from beleaguered nations who have
    experienced genocide throughout recent times, presenting historical
    testimonies of their country's plight through actual accounts.

    The event is being co-sponsored by the Armenian Genocide Education
    Committee of Merrimack Valley, working in conjunction with Facing
    History and Ourselves, which has been offering programs throughout
    area high schools and colleges since 2007.

    Moderator will be Albert S. Movsesian, a community activist. He will
    be joined by Haverhill Gazette columnist Tom Vartabedian, who will
    speak about the Armenian Genocide.

    The forum is a follow-up to a previous classroom discussion on
    genocide earlier this year hosted by the club, under the direction of
    Dr. Stephen Russell, professor of history and government.

    The public is invited to attend.

    For more information, contact Professor Russell at
    [email protected] or 978 556-3237.
