MosJan Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 Frommer introduces genocide bill By CLAUDIA PESCHIUTTA GLENDALE -- A resolution marking the state's annual commemoration of the Armenian Genocide is set to once again come before legislators. Assemblyman Dario Frommer (D-Glendale) this week introduced a concurrent resolution calling on the state to recognize April 24 as the "California Day of Remembrance for the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923, and for Victims of the Sumgait Pogroms of 1988 and Baku Riots of 1990," according to a news release. The Sumgait Pograms and Baku Riots were attacks suffered by Armenians in Azerbaijan, said Dan Reeves, the assemblyman's chief of staff. "Governments throughout the world must work to keep this new millennium free of the hatred, bigotry and cruelty, which was at the heart of the Armenian Genocide and the other crimes against humanity that marred the 20th century," Frommer said in a statement.
