The United Armenian Council for the Commemoration of the Armenian
Genocide has planned an outstanding program for the commemoration of
the 96th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, at Martyrs Monument in
Montebello's Bicknell Park on Saturday, April 23, from 11 am to 1 pm.
According to Asbarez, the public has been informed of the details of
the program through press releases and TV interviews. The participation
of several Federal, State, City, and local officials is anticipated. As
in previous years, Homenetmen and AGBU scouts will participate in flag
ceremonies. For the first time, the choir of the Armenian Society of
Los Angeles, conducted by Maestro Michael Avedissian, will perform.
In addition, the United Armenian Council has invited this year a very
special guest, Attorney Federico Hairabedian from Argentina, to be
the keynote speaker. He is the grandson of genocide survivor Krikor
Hairabedian who lost 50 members of his family during the Turkish-state
organized genocide. In 2000, he filed a lawsuit against Turkey which
ended 10 years later with great success. The Argentine Federal Court
on April 1, issued the following verdict: "The Turkish state committed
Genocide against the Armenian Nation during 1915-1923 period, killing
over one and half million Armenians."
