    ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY WELCOMES CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR PROCLAMATION

    The Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) welcomed California
    Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's proclamation designating April 19-26
    as the "Days of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide."

    "As we reflect on the importance of genocide education and prevention
    during the month of April, Governor Schwarzenegger reminds us all of
    the need to remember and learn from the lessons of the past so that
    man's inhumanity to man is not repeated," stated Armenian Assembly
    Board of Trustees Member Peter Kezirian.

    The proclamation read in part: "As Americans and Californians, it is
    our duty to raise awareness of the Armenian Genocide and to participate
    in the remembrance and mourning of the loss of innocent lives."

    Despite the incontestable fact of the Armenian Genocide, as well as
    the growing international trend toward affirmation, a destructive
    campaign of denial continues to prevent the healing process. As
    we mark the 95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide this April
    24th, the Assembly continues to urge Congress and the President to
    unequivocally affirm the Armenian Genocide. To that end, the Assembly
    announced its National Fly-In Day to be held on April 21st entitled
    "Day of Advocacy and Affirmation," which coincides with the Capitol
    Hill Armenian Genocide Commemoration taking place that evening. For
    more information or to participate in meetings with your elected
    officials, please contact the Assembly's Grassroots Director Taniel
    Koushakjian at (202) 393-3434, ext. 335.
