LOS ANGELES-Kim Kardashian is rallying support for the ANCA Telethon
as part of her ongoing commitment to secure international recognition
of the Armenian Genocide as an important step toward ending the cycle
of genocide overall, reported the ANCA Endowment Fund.
In a public service announcement set to officially debut this Sunday
during the ANCA Telethon, Kardashian explains `As we witness injustice
in today's world and we all strive to eradicate violence and mass
killings everywhere, I've been doing what's right and doing my share
in bringing recognition to the Armenian Genocide. Mankind must
recognize genocides of the past for what they are so that we can stop
them from reoccurring in the future; that's why I'm supporting the
ANCA Telethon and contributing to it.' Kardashian goes on to ask
viewers and supporters to `join your voice and your effort to mine and
do share and donate generously to this telethon.'
Thank Kim Kardashian on her Facebook blog and Twitter.
The ANCA Telethon will be broadcast live on Sunday May 20, 2012 from
2:00pm PDT to 8:00pm PDT (5:00pm EDT to 11:00pm EDT) in major U.S.
markets which cater to the over 1.5 million Armenian Americans across
the U.S., including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, New
York and Washington, DC . The program will be streamed live online on
http://www.ancatelethon.org
`We applaud Kim Kardashian for her ongoing to commitment to
international recognition of the Armenian Genocide and are so very
proud of her principled support, as an Armenian, for ending forever
the cycle of genocide against all peoples,' said ANCA Endowment
President Ken Hachikian. `With Kim's support, and the backing of
Armenian Americans from coast to coast, we look forward to a
successful Telethon and to taking our work for truth and justice to a
new level.'
Kardashian has been outspoken in her calls for officials U.S.
affirmation of the Armenian Genocide, posting blog notes and tweeting
to her fans annually on April 24th, the worldwide commemoration of
this crime. In an April 24, 2011, tweet, Kardashian was clear and
concise: `It's time to recognize the Armenian Genocide

In 2010, Kardashian called on Speaker Pelosi to schedule a vote on
H.Res 252, the Armenian Genocide resolution. In that message, she said
`It's time for America to speak openly and honestly about this
horrible crime against humanity, and the only way this will happen is
if WE speak up first.'
The ANCA Endowment Fund supports a broad range of educational, youth,
and civic programs that give voice to the views and values of the
Armenian American community, strengthening our presence in the
American civic arena, and empowering pro-Armenian stakeholders with
the information and resources they need to take on the powerful forces
aligned against the Armenian nation.
The first two ANCA Endowment Fund telethons, held in 2006 and 2009,
raised over $4.5 million for Armenian American educational, youth, and
civic programs. Both programs touched a common emotional chord,
speaking directly to the devotion to the Armenian Cause that rests in
the hearts of Armenians from across the U.S., regardless of
organizational or political affiliations.
Countless organizations, volunteers, churches, community leaders,
local ANCAs, performing artists, Members of Congress, and state
legislators from across the nation participated in the telethons,
contributing to their enormous success. Both telethons featured
several documentaries that highlighted various ANCA programs and
numerous results the ANCA Endowment has achieved over the years,
largely through its volunteer and grassroots network.
