Upcoming Armenian Genocide Commemoration in Glendale
This April 24 marks the 93^rd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As
in previous years, the Armenian nation will commemorate the martyrs of
the Genocide. There will be programs in observance of the Armenian
Genocide in various locations, including Montebello and Glendale,
California.
The Armenian Genocide United Commemoration Committee is organizing a
pilgrimage to the Armenian Martyrs Memorial Monument at Bicknell Park in
Montebello during the day on Thursday, April 24, 2008. At the monument,
each participant will be given a chance to place a flower in memory of
the victims of the Genocide, and join our brothers and sisters in the
homeland who traditionally make the same pilgrimage to the
Dzidzernagapert Martyrs Memorial Complex. There will be a solemn requiem
service (Hokehankist) at the monument at 1:30 pm. The Armenian Genocide
United Commemoration Committee will provide free transportation to those
who wish to participate in this program.
Also, on April 24, 2008 a political rally will take place at Glendale
Civic Auditorium (1401 N. Verdugo Rd., Glendale, CA 91208) at 8 pm.
Government officials will participate in this program. This rally will
be the closing ceremony to the 93^rd anniversary commemorations of the
Armenian Genocide.
We appeal to every Armenian to participate in the observance of the
Armenian Genocide and also become active in the pursuit of the Armenian
Cause.
