    SOUTH FLORIDA COMMUNITY MARKED 93rd ANNIVERSARY OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    DeFacto Agency, Armenia
    April 30 2008

    YEREVAN, 30.04.08. DE FACTO. The Armenian National Committee of
    South Florida (ANC of S. FL) joined with Armenian Americans - and all
    Armenians around the world - in commemorating the 93rd anniversary
    of the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923.

    The commemoration, held at St. Mary's Davitian Hall in Hollywood,
    was co-sponsored by St. Mary Armenian Apostolic Church, St. David
    Armenian Church, the Armenian National Committee of South Florida, the
    Knights of Vartan Hayasdan Lodge, and the Armenian Assembly of America.

    In addition to the strong community turnout, the program featured
    the representatives of Armenian Church leaders, leading community
    figures in South Florida, and a broad range of ethnic and human
    rights activists.

    To note, among the major steps taken this year by the South Florida
    Armenian community was the first screening of the documentary titled,
    "The Women of 1915," produced by the Telly award winning Team (The Wall
    of The Genocide) Bedo Der-Bedrossian and Baret Maronian of Armenoid
    Productions, a division of Ayasa Video Productions Inc. of Coconut
    Creek, Florida.

    Additionally, ANC of S. FL youth activists setup laptops as members
    of the audience web-faxed their respective US Representatives to end
    Turkey's "gag rule" on Armenian Genocide recognition and pass H.Res.106
    & S.Res.106. "We are tremendously proud of the increasingly active,
    vocal, and effective Armenian community of South Florida, and are
    committed to making our unique contribution to, once and for all,
    ending U.S. complicity in Turkey's shameful campaign of genocide
    denial," added ANC of S. Florida Chairman Albert Mazmanian.
