WATERTOWN - The Armenian Community of Massachusetts, with the
sponsorship of several state senators and representatives, has
organized the Armenian Genocide commemorations at the Massachusetts
State House for the last 28 years. At the commemoration, survivors
receive proclamations. This year's commemoration was scheduled to take
place on April 19 but was scrapped due to the tragic events in Boston
and Watertown on that day. On Sunday, May 12, Mother's Day, during the
Divine Liturgy, state Rep. Jonathan Hecht (D-Watertown) and state Sen.
Will Brownsberger (D-Belmont), presented the first State House
proclamation to St. James Armenian Church parishioner, Siran
Kassabian, 93, signed by Gov. Duval Patrick. In the photo, from left,

daughter, Hrip Parsekian.
