Awards were presented at the 97th Commemoration of the Armenian
Genocide event at St. Sarkis Armenian Apostolic Church before a large
crowd of guests including students, educators, family and friends,
according to The Armenian Reporter.
The competition, open to all Michigan High School students is funded
by the Hagopian Family Foundation and was conceived and initiated
by the late Edgar Hagopian. Perpetuated by the metro Detroit Knights
of Vartan the competition recognizes and awards Michigan high school
students who have written a successful essay on the Armenian Genocide,
the first genocide of the 20th Century, often called "the forgotten
genocide". This is the fifth year that the statewide competition has
been offered to students with the hope that it will stimulate study
of the many aspects surrounding the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman
Turkey, 1915-1923.

by the Hagopian Family Foundation and was conceived and initiated by
the late Edgar Hagopian.
