Relative to the Armenian Genocide.

Bill Subjects

Armenian Genocide.

Abstract

This measure would designate and encourage the people of California to commemorate the month of April 2014, as "California Month of Remembrance for the Armenian Genocide of 1915–1923," and would call upon the Congress and the President of the United States to act likewise and to formally and consistently recognize and reaffirm the historical truth that the atrocities committed against the Armenian people constituted genocide. The measure would commend conscientious educators who teach about human rights and genocide. The measure would call upon the President to work toward equitable, constructive, stable, and durable Armenian-Turkish relations and a fair, just, and comprehensive international resolution of this crime against humanity, and would call upon the Republic of Turkey to acknowledge the facts of the Armenian Genocide and to work toward a just resolution.
