SACRAMENTO–California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has once again proclaimed the week of April 19-26 as “Days of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide,” the Armenian National Committee’s Western Region offices reported on Thursday.

We present the proclamation below:

It is important to remember the horrors of the past in order to keep history from repeating itself.  The Armenian Genocide was a terrible breach of human rights and an event that has outraged the world.  Between 1915 and 1923, 1.5 million innocent Armenians lost their lives at the hands of the Ottoman Empire, and 500,000 more were forced from their homeland.

The atrocities carried out against the Armenian people were grave and unimaginable, as they were subjected to deportation, abduction, torture, starvation and more.  And as with any violent conflict, Armenian women and children suffered the worst abuses.  The bulk of the Armenian population that was displaced from their homes was forced to escape to neighboring as well as faraway countries.  Many fled to the United States.

Today, California is honored to be home to a vibrant Armenian-American population, the largest outside the Republic of Armenia.  This thriving community is a proud reminder of survival and determination even in the face of extreme injustice.

As Americans and Californians, it is our duty to raise awareness of the Armenian Genocide and to participate in the remembrance and mourning of the loss of innocent lives.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim April 19-26, 2010, as “Days of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this 8th day of April 2010.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
Governor of California

DEBRA BOWEN
Secretary of State
