ARMENIAN-AUSTRALIAN BUSINESSES AND EMPLOYEES ASKED TO TAKE DAY OFF ON APRIL 24TH
April 6, 2015
SYDNEY: The Armenian Genocide Centenary Commemoration Committee of
Australia (AGCCC) is calling on Armenian-Australians to mark the
100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide on April 24, 2015 by
closing their businesses, or taking the day off work.
This initiative, which will be carried out across the world, will allow
Armenian-Australians to honour the lives of the 1.5 million victims
of the Armenian Genocide, create awareness of the Armenian Genocide,
and take part in various events on April 24th to mark the Centenary.
The AGCCC has prepared signs, which can be downloaded and printed
(businesses click here / employees click here), to be used by business
owners and employees alike. Armenian business owners are encouraged
to stick these signs on their doors/windows, while employees are
encouraged to place them on their desks or places of work.
Vache Kahramanian of the AGCCC explained: "These signs will serve
to notify customers and colleagues at hundreds of workplaces why we
Armenians, 100 years on, commemorate this unpunished crime that was
committed against our ancestors. This will create grassroots awareness
of the Armenian Genocide, and remind Turkey that Armenians will remain
vigilant until justice is received."
The AGCCC has also created the following Facebook Cover Photos, which
they encourage to be saved and uploaded onto the Facebook pages of
businesses and employees, who are closing or taking the day off in
remembrance of the Armenian Genocide.
