On Tuesday, April 24, 2007, the Armenian National Committee of
Wisconsin, State Representatives Mark Honadel, Jeff Stone and Robin
Vos, and State Senators Mary Lazich, John Lehman, and Jeff Plale are
hosting a reception and program to commemorate the 92nd Anniversary of
the Armenian Genocide. This event will be held from 9:45 - 10:45 am in
the Assembly Parlor at the Wisconsin State Capitol. The program will
feature remarks from Representative Robin Vos, Senator John Lehman
and Zohrab Khaligian representing the Armenian National Committee
of Wisconsin.
The event hosted annually by the ANC of WI gives the Armenian American
community an opportunity to thank the members of the Wisconsin State
Assembly and State Senate for adopting Armenian Genocide Resolution,
which designates April 24 of each year as "Wisconsin Day of Remembrance
for the Armenian Genocide of 1915 to 1923" and to continue to educate
and promote awareness of Armenia and Armenian issues, particularly
the Armenian Genocide.
The State Assembly adopted Assembly Resolution 42 (AR 42) on May 2,
2000 while the State Senate adopted Senate Resolution 14 on March
7, 2002, thereby reaffirming the Armenian Genocide as a fact of
history. The Armenian National Committee of Wisconsin has organized
a commemorative event at the Wisconsin State Capitol every April
(with the exception of 2006) since the Assembly adopted AR 42.
In addition to the State Capitol event, a joint memorial service will
be held at 7:00PM on Tuesday, April 24 at St. Mesrob Armenian Church
in Racine. The memorial service will include the participation of
all four Armenian churches in Wisconsin: St. Hagop and St. Mesrob in
Racine, St. John the Baptist in Greenfield, and Holy Resurrection in
South Milwaukee.
