    ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED IN SACRAMENTO

    April 16, 2013 - 15:44 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - More than 200 activists, from every corner of
    California, joined the Armenian National Committee of America-Western
    Region on Monday, April 15 for the Commemoration of the Armenian
    Genocide in the California State Legislature, Asbarez reported.

    Participants observed the State Assembly and Senate commemorations
    which recognized various community groups including the ANCA-WR and
    were spiritually inspired by invocations from Archbishop Mousegh
    Mardirossian of the Western Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church
    and Archbishop Hovnan Derderian of the Western Diocese of the Armenian
    Apostolic Church respectively.

    The day's events were highlighted by passage of two Armenian Genocide
    Resolutions. Notably, Assembly Members Katcho Achadjian and Adrin
    Nazarian, two Assembly Members of Armenian descent, introduced
    and ushered passage of Assembly Joint Resolution 2 which strongly
    recognizes the Armenian Genocide, designates April 15 - 19, 2013 as
    a "Week of Remembrance for the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923," and
    calls on the Congress and President of the United States to formally
    and consistently recognize the Armenian Genocide's historical truth.

    Alongside the commemorative events, the ANCA-WR held its annual
    Advocacy Day in the State Capitol through which participating activists
    were able to educate state legislators about issues of concern to
    the Armenian-American community.
