Aratta-Kingdom Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Kentucky Becomes 41st State To Recognize Armenian GenocideFRANKFORT, KY--The Armenian National Committee of America- Eastern Region Friday welcomed a proclamation issued by Kentucky Governor Steven L. Beshear recognizing the Armenian Genocide. The "Bluegrass State" proclamation brings the number of states to formally recognize the Armenian Genocide to forty-one. The powerfully worded proclamation designated April 24, 2008, as "Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide" in the state of Kentucky, noting that "recognition of the ninety-third anniversary of this genocide is paramount to guarding against the repetition of future genocides and educating people across the Commonwealth about the atrocities of these horrific events." "Gov. Beshear's proclamation reflects the growing sentiments of U.S. government officials to speak with moral clarity on the Armenian Genocide," stated ANCA Eastern Region Executive Director Karine Birazian. "The burgeoning Kentucky Armenian community's initiative serves as an inspiration to Armenian American activists across the U.S. to redouble efforts to end Turkey's gag rule on U.S. affirmation of this crime against humanity." The Armenian National Committee of America is the largest and most influential Armenian American grassroots political organization. Working in coordination with a network of offices, chapters, and supporters throughout the United States and affiliated organizations around the world, the ANCA actively advances the concerns of the Armenian American community on a broad range of issues.

Arpa Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) Yes, the local ANCA chapters work on such issues. We are very close in one of those states. Texas would be the hardest to do. Texas is Bush-land. Need I say more? Maybe! When one does not know how far Baghdad is from Brownsville TX !!! Among the renegade states we also cited West Virginia. Do you know the senior senile senator from W Va Robert Byrd, yes "bird" as in furkey. Do you know that he was the main filibusterer against Sen. Dole. Did you know that he is the father (father in law) of a furk? Edited May 7, 2008 by Arpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yervant1 Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 KENTUCKY STATE SENATE WITHDRAWS PRO-AZERBAIJANI RESOLUTION07/03/16FRANKFORT, KY - The Armenian National Committee of America EasternRegion (ANCA-ER) announced today that it successfully defeated SenateResolution 168 in Kentucky, which grossly misrepresented the facts ofArtsakh-Azerbaijani conflict. Dozens of Kentucky residents respondedto the ANCA-ER action alert and successfully defeated the measure.Kentucky joins Idaho, New Hampshire, and other states which havealready rejected similar misleading pro-Baku measures in the recentpast."Our experience in Kentucky proved again that the democratic processworks and our state legislators will not tolerate any attempt ofinterference and misrepresentation that serve the interests of aforeign dictator like Ilham Aliyev, who has ruthlessly repressedhis own people and taken an increasingly anti-Western stance,while continuing aggression against Armenia and Artsakh effectivelyendangering fragile peace in the region," said ANCA-ER Communicationsand Community Outreach Director Artur Martirosyan. "With ourwide network of local ANCs and advocates, we will continue to workdiligently to ensure the rights of the free people of Nagorno KarabakhRepublic are protected and affirmed by the international community."S.R. 168, sponsored by Senator Daymon Thayer, was introduced in theKentucky Senate on March 1, 2016. Upon learning about the resolutionby local advocates, ANCA-ER immediately mobilized the grassroots andspoke strongly against the deceptive and dangerous resolution callingupon the Senate President and Majority Floor Leader to withdraw it.Earlier today, the Kentucky Senate officially withdrew the measurefrom the proceedings of the legislative body and effectively killedthe resolution.The numerous calls and emails generated by the ANCA-ER and localresidents caused Senators to educate themselves on the realities of theNagorno Karabakh conflict, Sumgait and Baku massacres of Armenians,Azerbaijan's gross human rights track record, Baku's destabilizingrole in the region as well as the rightful aspirations of the peopleof Artsakh Republic to live in an independent state free of Azerbaijanirepression.About ANCA-ERThe Armenian National Committee of America Eastern Region (ANCA-ER)is the grassroots advocacy organization representing the views andadvancing the policy priorities of Armenian Americans and other friendsof Armenia across the Eastern United States. Working in coordinationwith a network of local ANCs, community advocates and local supporters,the ANCA-ER actively advances the concerns, interests, and prioritiesof the Armenian American community on a broad range of issues.https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__asbarez.com_147127_kentucky-2Dstate-2Dsenate-2Dwithdraws-2Dpro-2Dazerbaijani-2Dresolution_&d=CwIFaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=LVw5zH6C4LHpVQcGEdVcrQ&m=B3imO6BIfPwpE_667nK4LqIx3kB3mc4IZNVaMzhwj0Q&s=OAIWb1B9J3Ggj2CMQ5MQsToWJCvGg3G7zzn8JdhU7jA&e= 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
