Hye Sharzhoom
May 2006
Flowers are placed at the base of the Genocide monument in
the Free Speech Area, in memory of the victims of 1915. The
commemoration event took place at noon on April 24.
This speech was followed by
Gary Krboyan's reading ofthe A SI
resolution that he will be presenting
to the Associated Students Senate at
Fresno State. The resolution asks
for official acceptance ofthe Armenian Genocide and designation of
April 23-29 as the week of remembrance of the atrocities committed
by the Turkish government.
Krboyan also read a statement by
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
acknowledging the Armenian
Genocide. Krbo y an' s speech w as
followed by readings of a survivor's
testimonial and a moving poem en-
Kristine Pogosyan
Genocide, from Page 1
the Genocide were held by members ofthe ASO. Solemn sounds
ofthe duduk could be heard around
various parts of campus, as ASO
members distributed red ribbons
to those present, symbolizing support, remembrance, and eternal
respect.
The event officially began when
ASO President Kristine Pogosyan
spoke briefly about the significance
ofthe yearly commemoration and
presented reasons why April 24
was chosen as day of remembrance.
Gary Krboyan
titled "The Armenian Spirit" by
Gayane Frnzyan, Vice-President
of ASO. This concluded the student presentations and speeches.
Professor Barlow Der
Mugrdechian of the Armenian
Studies Program, serving as the
keynote speaker, delivered a
thought-provoking speech calling
upon the students and community
members to get involved and to be
active community participants. He
emphasized that no matter how
hectic our daily lives may get, we
will continue to gather in the Free
Speech Area every year paying
our respects to the Armenian martyrs.
The event concluded with the
traditional placing of flowers on a
replica of the Martyrs Monument
standing in Yerevan, Armenia. The
sounds of the duduk could again be
heard in the background as each
student made their way to the
Barlow Der Mugrdechian
Gayane Frnzyan
monument. Students lined up to
silently place a single carnation on
the Monument and take a moment
to think about the events that occurred 91 years ago.
The tradition of commemorating the Armenian Genocide has
been part of Fresno State for over
forty years. This tradition will continue every year with the support
and participation of students and
community members.
