Governor Gavin Newsom has declared April 24, 2023, as “A Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide” in California. The proclamation acknowledges the 1.5 million Armenian lives lost during the Ottoman Empire’s systematic genocide that began on April 24, 1915. Newsom’s statement also honors the strength and resilience of the Armenian people who have made significant contributions to California. The move encourages Californians to remember the genocide and speak out against hatred and atrocities worldwide.
