    The Armenian Genocide Committee of Greater Detroit announced the
    winners of the fourth annual essay competition. Awards were presented
    to the winning students at the Hagopian showroom in Birmingham before
    a crowd of students, educators, family and friends.

    The presentations were made prior to a lecture that same evening to be
    presented by historian and author Raymond Kevorkian, hometownlife.com
    reported.

    The competition funded by the Hagopian Family Foundation and conceived
    and initiated by the late Edgar Hagopian, recognizes and awards
    Michigan high school students who have written a successful essay
    on the Armenian Genocide, the first genocide of the 20th century,
    often called "the forgotten genocide."

    This is the fourth year that the statewide competition has been offered
    to students with the hope that it will stimulate study of the many
    aspects surrounding the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey, 1915-23.

    The Armenian Genocide Committee of Greater Detroit, a group committed
    to bringing awareness of the Armenian Genocide, is made up of members
    of the Detroit metro Armenian community including educators, former
    educators and business leaders.
