Bill Summary
Relative to the Armenian Genocide.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution, concerning the Armenian Genocide, formally recognizes and commemorates the systematic extermination of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1923, an event described as the first genocide of the 20th century and a severe violation of human rights. The resolution commends educators who teach about human rights and genocide, designates a specific week in April as "California Week of Remembrance for the Armenian Genocide," and calls upon the U.S. Congress and President to formally recognize this historical truth. It also urges the Republic of Turkey to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide and work towards a just resolution, while deploring any efforts to deny this historical fact. The resolution acknowledges the significant Armenian-American population in California and the state's role in promoting human rights education.
