In this podcast, Lucy Keroglyan and Karine Reganyan speak to members of the Armenian community and gather their thoughts on Armenian Remembrance Day and what it means to them.

Lucy Keroglyan talks to Ani P, a 12 year-old student at Ferrahian High School, about what Armenian Remembrance Day is like in an Armenian school.

Karine Reganyan talks to Armenian Youth Federation chairperson Patrick Torossian about the role of the AYF and what they do to gain awareness for Armenian Remembrance Day. Torossian talks about AYF’s goals, such as the worldwide recognition of the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian genocide is now formally recognized in the United States after President Joe Biden released a statement on Saturday.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
