    Armenian Genocide

    ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER DECLARES APRIL 23-27 A WEEK OF REMEMBRANCE OF
    ARMENIAN GENOCIDE VICTIMS

    Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared April 23-27
    a week of remembrance of Armenian genocide victims, Lisa Galustian,
    governor's Los Angeles office deputy head, told RFE/RL. Underscoring
    that California has the second largest Armenian population after
    Armenia he stated that the descendants of Genocide survivors play an
    important role in such spheres as state economy, culture, education
    and governance. Mr. Schwarzenegger made an appeal to recognize the
    Genocide. "The path to a more hopeful future lies through recognizing
    the past. With this hope I stand beside our friends from the Armenian
    community and urge the freedom loving Americans and other nations of
    the world to recognize the Armenian Genocide."

    The Genocide remembrance week has aroused the indignation of Turkish
    and Azerbaijani communities of America, and they are going to hold
    protests during the week.
