100 Day Countdown to the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide Begins
*What:* The Armenian Genocide Centennial Committee of the Western United
States (AGCC-WUSA) is launching a 100 days count leading to the centennial
of the Armenian Genocide and is cordially inviting you to attend the press
conference and *attend a free lunch* hosted by the committee on Wednesday,
January 14, 2015 starting 12:00 noon.
When: Wednesday, January 14, 2015, 12:00PM
Where: Phoenicia Restaurant
343 Central Ave. Glendale, CA 91203
Who: The AGCC-WUSA was established to steer and coordinate the
multifaceted commemorative activities in the Western United States and is
composed of nineteen (19) Armenian organizations, including religious
institutions.
Background: The 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide signifies a
global demand for justice by Armenians worldwide and all people of good
will. The Centennial marks one of the 20th century's greatest crimes
against humanity. In 1915, the Turkish Government began a premeditated and
systematic campaign to uproot the Armenian population from its ancestral
homeland and slaughter 1.5 million defenseless men, women and children.
Turkey must finally acknowledge its responsibility for the Genocide and
make appropriate moral, financial and territorial restitution, as mandated
by the fundamental norms of international law and civilized society.
The AGCC-WUSA will be organizing a series of events leading up to and
following the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide to commemorate the loss
of those who perished and honor the lives of the survivors and those who
helped rescue Armenians. All events will be announced at the press
conference.
