SACRAMENTO-Some 200 activists traveled to Sacramento from all around
California for the annual ANCA-WR Advocacy Day to commemorate
the Armenian Genocide and advocate for issues of concern to
Armenian-American community.

Resolutions in both houses of the California State Legislature
commemorating the Armenian Genocide were introduced and unanimously
passed.

Activists will hold meetings throughout the day with their elected
officials to develop and strengthen relations of the Armenian community
in California.

“The sizable participation by our community, traveling hundreds of
miles from around California to be in Sacramento, underscores the
active involvement of Armenians in the processes which directly affect
their lives,” said Executive Director William Bairamian.

More details forthcoming.
