Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day

Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. 

 April 24th marks Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, a day that holds particular significance to the many thousands in the Armenian diaspora. On this day we recognize the immense loss of human life and the impact these genocidal acts against Armenians have created as they reverberate throughout history to our present time.

 On April 2, 2025, the City of Glendale proclaimed:
"The month of April as Armenian Heritage Month, honoring a community whose history, resilience, and culture are deeply intertwined with the fabric of our city, and whose presence has profoundly shaped Glendale’s identity and growth."

In a proclamation from the Office of California Governor Newsom:
“On April 24, 1915, the Ottoman Empire began its systematic genocide of Armenian people, a minority group that had long been treated as second-class citizens. The Armenian Genocide began with the forced deportation and murder of hundreds of Armenian intellectuals and community leaders and ended with the deaths of 1.5 million men, women and children. It was the first genocide of the 20th Century.

As we remember the victims and survivors of the Armenian Genocide, we also honor the strength and resilience of the Armenian people. Forced to build new lives in all corners of the globe, Armenians bravely forged ahead in the face of unimaginable tragedy. Thousands made their homes in California, and we are greater for their contributions.

Let us recommit ourselves to making certain that we never forget the Armenian Genocide, and that we always speak out against hatred and atrocities anywhere they occur.”
