Los Angeles--Today, the Echo Park Community Coalition (EPCC) stands with
Armenians across LA and the United States to commemorate the 97th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. We must speak out and acknowledge the
1.5 million who lost their lives in the genocide in 1915. It is very
revolting that until today the Turkish authorities and their allies in the
United States refused to recognize and still denies the genocide also known
as the `Great Calamity' which became the model of a later Holocaust by
Nazi
Germany in World War II.

Filipinos in Solidarity with Armenian Americans
The Filipinos also like the Armenians were victims of this imposed amnesia
by the reactionaries. Until now the United States have not recognized that
they terrorized the Philippines and committed genocide during the so called
` Philippine Insurrection' from 1899-1902 when it was a Filipino-American
War for independence from 1899-1916.
Until now the United States have not recognized the 250,000 Filipino
American veterans who fought under the American flag and resisted the
Japanese when they occupied the Philippines from 1941-1945.
Until now Filipino veterans are considered ` second class citizens' While
their counterparts receives benefits they are denied such pensions and
their survivors langush in poerty here in the United States.
Even if more than one million Filipinos died during World War II, they
entirely blamed Japan for the atrocities committed during the war where in
fact more Filipinos died during the liberation when the US re-occupied the
Philippines in 1945.
Let us not forget and fight this war against forgetting and resist by
remembering. Let the sacrifices of the Armenian and Filipinos be the oil
that light the lamp of freedom all over the United States and the world.
