CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE KENNEDY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FOR PASADENA ARMENIAN
GENOCIDE MEMORIAL COMMITTEE PROJECT
Pasadena City Council Candidate John J. Kennedy has
announced his full support for the Armenian Genocide Memorial proposed
by the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee. The site
selected for the Genocide Memorial is in Memorial Park which is
located in District 3, the Council District that Kennedy is on the
ballot to be elected to represent.
"I have reviewed the final Design Proposal selected by the Armenian
Genocide Memorial Committee," said Kennedy. The Design Proposal
submitted by Catherine Menard from the Environmental Design Department
at Art Center College of Design was among 17 design proposals
considered by the Design Review Panel headed by Stefanos Polyzoides a
principal of Moule & Polyzoides, Architects and Urbanists. The Design
Review Panel recommended approval of the Menard Design Proposal to the
Board of Directors of the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial
Committee which unanimously approved the recommendation on January 13,
2013.
Kennedy noted that, "I was asked by an Armenian shopkeeper when I was
in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey, to give a very old Armenian
Orthodox Bible,written in Armenian, that had been in his family for
generations, to President Barack Obama. I kept my promise when I
delivered the Bible to First Lady Michelle Obama to share with the
President.""That Bible serves as a reminder to the United States
Government that it must provide full recognition of the Armenian
Genocide," said Kennedy.
"When the Genocide Memorial is presented to the Pasadena City Council
I will make the motion for approval and urge my Council colleagues to
join with me," said Kennedy. "I have long supported full recognition
of the Armenian Genocide and this Memorial is another step toward the
understanding needed to heal the hearts of the Armenian people."
