City of West Hollywood Passes Armenian Genocide Resolution
It is with great pleasure that GALAS, The Gay And Lesbian Armenian Society
of Los Angeles, announces that on April 17, 2006, the City Council for the
City of West Hollywood unanimously passed a resolution commemorating the
Victims of the Armenian Genocide and condemning the human rights violations
committed by the Turkish government. The resolution not only cites Turkey's
failure to recognize and take responsibility for that country's atrocities
against Armenians, which occurred more than ninety years ago, but also
emphasizes that the current Turkish government's unremitting denial is a
continuing violation of the civil rights of all Armenians everywhere.
Members of GALAS were present at the City Council meeting on Monday to
support the City's humanistic act of justice. Greg Alexanian, the current
president of GALAS, spoke at the council meeting and commended the City
Council on their proactive measure to fight injustice and in their
progressive stance in always promoting equality, justice and diversity.
Moreover, the City of West Hollywood will lower its flags to half staff on
April 24, 2006, to honor the memory of the 1.5 million Armenians who
perished during the first Genocide of the Twentieth Century.
GALAS invites all to attend their Genocide Commemoration on April 22, 2006,
from 4PM -8PM at Plummer Park Community Center 7377 Santa Monica Blvd., West
Hollywood, CA 90046. Admission to the commemoration is free. For more
