Sacramento, CA - At the State Capitol, Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Los
Angeles) met with Robert Avetisyan, the United States Representative
of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. Mr. Avetisyan is in California from
Washington, D.C., on the solemn anniversary of the massacres of the
Armenian people in the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
`It is with a heavy heart that Mr. Avetisyan and I met,' said the
Assemblyman, `but I am proud of the work that we are doing to draw
attention to the heinous crimes that have been committed against the
Armenian people in Karabakh.'
Assemblyman Gatto, along with Assemblymembers Katcho Achadjian (R-San
Luis Obispo) and Felipe Fuentes (D-Sylmar), introduced Assembly
Concurrent Resolution (ACR) 96, which designates today, February 27,
2012, as Day of Remembrance for the Massacres of Armenians in Sumgait,
Kirovabad, and Baku. The resolution calls on Californians to promote
greater tolerance in the region, and to ensure the peaceful settlement
of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, while protecting the security of
Armenians in the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
Although it was a busy day for the Assemblyman, Gatto spent time with
Mr. Avetisyan and nearly 30 others to discuss the historical
significance of the day, and the effects the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
has had on the Armenian people. `We must never forget the innocent
lives that were lost in the course of this conflict,' commented Gatto,
`Mr. Avetisyan is here today in their memory, and I gladly stand next
to him to do the same.'
