    Commemoration of Armenian Genocide

    Watertown TAB & Press, MA
    March 31 2006

    Friday, March 31, 2006

    Rep. Rachel Kaprielian, Rep. Peter Koutoujian and Sen. Steven Tolman,
    in conjunction with the State House Commemoration Planning Committee,
    will host the 91st Anniversary Commemoration of the Armenian Genocide
    on Friday, April 21, at 11 a.m., in the chamber of the House of
    Representatives at the Massachusetts State House. The ceremony will
    be followed by an informal reception in the Great Hall.

    Buses will leave for the State House from St. James and St.

    Stephen's churches to transport participants and guests to the State
    House. Participants should note that due to current increased security
    measures, the process of entering the State House is slower than in
    previous years. All visitors will be required to pass through metal
    detectors, so extra time may be required to enter the building.

    All are welcome to attend.

    This year's keynote address will be given by Dr. Henry Theriault,
    associate professor of philosophy and coordinator of the Center for
    Study of Human Rights at Worcester State College. His research focuses
    on genocide and human rights, with specific emphasis on genocide denial
    and its epistemological dimensions; the long-term impact of genocide
    and other mass violence and their ethical and political implications;
    and mass violence against women. Theriault has presented his work
    on the Armenian Genocide around the globe, including California,
    Tokyo and Beirut.
