Congressman Frank Pallone paid tribute in memory of Armenian Genocide
survivor Askouhy Jallyan-Vassilian, who passed away on February 27
shortly after celebrating her 94th birthday. Mrs. Jallyan-Vassilian
attended a markup session of the House of Representatives Committee on
Foreign Affairs as it worked on a resolution recognizing the deplorable
deprivation of human rights that occurred during the Armenian genocide.
Mrs. Jallyan-Vassilian was born on February 12, 1914, in Orfa,
Turkey. Mrs.
Jallyan-Vassilian was able to flee the horrors of genocide when she
escaped with her mother to neighboring Syria.
