THIS FRIEDMAN YOU MAY OPEN.
THANK YOU MISS THANK YOU MISTER
SPEAKER.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS.
IT BEGAN ON APRIL TWENTY FOURTH
NINETEEN FIFTEEN.
FOR EIGHT LONG YEARS THE
ARMENIAN NATION WAS SUBJECTED TO
A SYSTEMATIC AND PREMEDITATED
GENOCIDE AT THE HANDS OF THE
OTTOMAN TURKISH EMPIRE AND THE
REPUBLIC OF TURKEY.
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE WHO OR
THESE VICTIMS THEY WERE FATHERS
MOTHERS?
SISTERS AND BROTHERS IN
CHILDREN.
ONE POINT FIVE MILLION ARMENIAN
LIVES WERE LOST
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
ASSYRIANS GREEKS HAD OTHER
CHRISTIANS PERISHED IN ONE OF
THE MOST ATROCIOUS VIOLATIONS OF
HUMAN RIGHTS HISTORY.
THIS WAS THE FIRST GENOCIDE.
TWENTIETH CENTURY.
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN MOST
ARMENIANS KNEW SOMEBODY WHO WAS
A THEMSELVES OR SURVIVOR. OR A
DIRECT DESCENDANT OF A SURVIVOR
BUT NOW THAT WERE A HUNDRED AND
THIRTY THREE YEARS LATER.
THOSE SURVIVORS THEMSELVES OF
COURSE ARE FADING.
AND IN SOME CASES THE MEMORIES
OF THAT GENOCIDE.
FADING.
BUT NOT AMONGST THE ARMENIAN
PEOPLE.
AND BECAUSE OF OUR WORK NOT
HEARING CALIFORNIA.
THAT'S WHY A HUNDRED AND THREE
YEARS LATER WE ARE HERE ON THE
ASSEMBLY FLOOR TODAY TO REMEMBER
THOSE LIVES LOST.
THOSE HOPES THOSE DREAMS THOSE
LOVES.
ALL.
TAKEN AWAY DURING THIS VERY DARK
PERIOD IN TWENTIETH CENTURY
HISTORY.
AS WE PAY OUR SOLEMN TRIBUTE TO
THE VICTIMS OF THESE UNSPEAKABLE
CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. LET'S
REMEMBER THAT WERE ALSO HERE TO
RENEW OUR VOW.
TO NEVER LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.
TO NEVER BE THE BYSTANDER THAT
STANDS IDLY BY. AS GENOCIDE
HAPPENS.
AS THE LEGISLATIVE BODY IN
ELECTED LEADERS IT'S OUR DUTY TO
ENSURE THAT OUR NATION AND OUR
WORLD RECOGNIZE THE GENOCIDE FOR
WHAT IT WAS.
DENYING THE ATROCITIES ARE
REMAINING SILENT INVITES
REOCCURRENCE.
OUR MODERN HISTORY IS SADLY FULL
OF EXAMPLES OF THE PERILS OF
SILENCE.
LESS THEN A DECADE AFTER THE
ARMENIAN GENOCIDE WHICH BY THE
WAY WAS REPORTED ABOUT AN
AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS IN THERE
WERE EVEN FAMOUS AMERICAN
EFFORTS TO HELP VICTIMS OF THE
GENOCIDE.
SO LESS THAN A DECADE LATER.
HITLER DEVELOP HIS PLANS FOR THE
HOLOCAUST AND REASSURED HIS
COMMANDERS THAT THEY WOULD NOT
FACE RETRIBUTION.
HE DECLARED WHO AFTER ALL
SPEAKS.
TODAY OF THE ANNIHILATION OF THE
ARMENIANS.
EVEN TODAY THOSE PERPETRATORS OF
THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE.
WE'RE NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
REPARATIONS WERE NEVER FULLY
MADE NEVER MADE IT ALL BY THE
TURKISH GOVERNMENT TO THOSE
VICTIMS.
IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
REMIND CALIFORNIA AND THE WORLD
THAT WOULD WITH ANY GROUP IS
MARGINALIZED OR DISCRIMINATED
AGAINST WE ALL HAVE A DUTY TO
SPEAK UP TO PUSH BACK IN THE
FIGHT FOR JUSTICE AND EQUALITY.
SO THAT NO ONE WILL KNOW THE
PAIN. THAT OUR ANCESTORS DID.
AND SPEAKING OUT DOES MAKE A
DIFFERENCE
JUST YESTERDAY OVER FIFTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE GATHER IN YOUR
VAN TO PROTEST.
UNDEMOCRATIC ACTIONS BY THE
ARMENIAN GOVERNMENT.
I'M VERY PROUD THAT IN MY CITY
OF GLENDALE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
TOOK TO THE STREETS IN
SOLIDARITY.
WITH THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTER
IN ARMENIA.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT. THOSE VOICES
MATTERED.
JUST THIS MORNING THE GOVERNMENT
ANNOUNCED CHANGES.
THAT WILL MAKE ARMENIA.
THE DEMOCRACY THAT ITS PEOPLE
WANTED TO BE AND THAT'S BECAUSE
OF THOSE BRAVE VOICES WHO STOOD
UP.
IT'S OUR DUTY TO DO THE SAME
HERE.
AND TO STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH
THE ARMENIAN PEOPLE IN CALLING
FOR WORLDWIDE RECOGNITION OF THE
ARMENIAN GENOCIDE.
WE IN CALIFORNIA HAVE DONE THIS
YEAR AFTER YEAR AND YET THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AMERICA HAS
YET TO OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE THE
GENOCIDE FOR WHAT IT WAS.
BUT I KNOW THAT JUST AS THOSE
ARMENIAN VOICES.
GOT.
THE DEMOCRACY THEY CALLED FOR.
THAT WE WILL GET THAT WORLDWIDE
RECOGNITION FOR THE ARMENIAN
GENOCIDE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT
QUIET.
IN LOS ANGELES ON MARCH THAT
USED TO HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
NOW HAS OVER A MILLION PEOPLE
EVERY YEAR TO COMMEMORATE
GENOCIDE AND TURKEY WILL NO
LONGER BE ABLE TO IGNORE THOSE
VOICES BECAUSE OF THE WORK
THAT'S BEEN DONE BY THE ARMENIAN
COMMUNITY. AND THAT IS THE
BEGINNING OF JUSTICE.
BECAUSE OF THAT I ASK YOU ALL TO
PLEASE JOIN ME.
NOT JUST VOTING I ON THIS
RESOLUTION BUT IN COAUTHOR RING
IT'S THAT WE HAVE A UNITED AND
LOUD VOICE SAYING THAT JUSTICE
CANNOT BE DENIED. THAT THOSE
VICTIMS WERE NOT REST IN PEACE
UNTIL THIS GENOCIDE IS
RECOGNIZED AROUND THE WORLD FOR
WHAT IT WAS THANK YOU MISTER
SPEAKER AND THANK YOU MEMBERS.
DAVIS REMAIN MISTER HOLDING YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED.

HUNDRED AND THIRD ANNIVERSARY.
OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE.
I APPLAUD THE EFFORTS OF
ARMENIAN AMERICANS AROUND THE
WORLD FOR THEIR PURSUIT OF TRUTH
AND JUSTICE FOR THE ARMENIAN.
COMMUNITY.
THEIR CAUSE IS THE SAME PURSUIT
OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE FOR HUMAN
RIGHTS EVERYWHERE.
JUST AS DOCTOR MARTIN LUTHER
KING JUNIOR WON SAID.
AN INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A
THREAT.
TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE.
THE EXPERIENCE OF THE ARMENIANS
UNDER THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE IS NOT
THAT DIFFERENT FROM THE
EXPERIENCE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN
SLAVES OR NATIVE AMERICANS IN
THIS COUNTRY.
DESPITE GENOCIDE AND ETHNIC
CLEANSING WE SEE THE FUTURE
GENERATIONS REALIZE THE
ATROCITIES OF THE PAST AND
FIGHT.
FOR A BETTER FUTURE.
WE REMEMBER THE ARMENIAN
GENOCIDE TODAY WE COMMIT
OURSELVES TO FIGHTING SYSTEMATIC
INJUSTICE AND INEQUALITY BY
GOVERNMENTS EVERYWHERE. AND JOIN
THEIR CAUSE TO STOP FUTURE
GENOCIDES.
AT THE SAME TIME WE CAN

TODAY CALIFORNIA'S THE HOME TO
ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND

OUR ECONOMY.

THANK YOU MISTER LEVIN MISTER
NAZARIAN. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER.
IS YOU ARE THIRTY SEVEN
COMMEMORATES
A HUNDRED AND THIRD ANNIVERSARY.
OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AND
CALLS UPON THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO FORMALLY.
CONSISTENTLY REAFFIRMED THE
HISTORICAL TRUTH THAT THE
ATROCITIES COMMITTED AGAINST THE
ARMENIAN PEOPLE CONSTITUTED
GENOCIDE.
THIS RESOLUTION PACE HOMMAGE TO
THE ONE AND A HALF MILLION
VICTIMS. THAT WERE SYSTEMICALLY
KILLED AT THE HANDS OF THE
OTTOMAN TURKISH EMPIRE.
THEN THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY.
MEMBERS I DON'T FEEL A MORAL
OBLIGATION TO COMMEMORATE THE
ARMENIAN GENOCIDE BECAUSE I'M
SIMPLY ETHNICALLY ARMENIAN.
GENOCIDE AFFECTS MORE THAN JUST
THE VICTIMS.
IT TRANSCENDS AND CARRIES
THROUGH TO IMPACT GENERATIONS OF
PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE.
IT IS A HUMANISTIC FEATURE WHICH
POUNDS OF SALT. COLLECTIVELY WE
CARRY THE RESPONSIBILITY TO
RECOGNIZE AND CALL OUT IN JUST
THIS WHEN WE SEE IT.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT ONE AND A
HALF MILLION PEOPLE.
IT'S HARD TO CAPTURE WHAT THAT
NUMBER REALLY MEANS.
PRIOR TO THE GENOCIDE THERE WERE
TWO MILLION ARMENIANS LIVING IN
THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE.
WITHIN A SHORT TIME. THREE
QUARTERS OF AN ANCIENT
CIVILIZATION PERISHED.
THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES DESTROYED
ONE AND A HALF MILLION PARENTS
SONS AND DAUGHTERS GONE AN
ANCIENT LINEAGE.
NEARLY WAS OBLITERATED.
COLLEAGUES IT IS TIME TO SAY
NEVER FORGET.
BUT IT'S CRUCIAL TO TELL THE
STORIES OF THE VICTIMS AND THOSE
WHO.
WITNESS THE CRIMES AGAINST
HUMANITY.
THE FRENCH WRITER MILAN KUNDERA
WROTE.
STRUGGLE OF MAN AGAINST POWER IS
THE STRUGGLE OF MEMORY AGAINST
FOR GETTING.
THE AMERICAN AMBASSADOR OF THE
OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND TURKEY AT THE
TIME.
MISTER HENRY MORGENTHAU.
WITNESS THESE ATROCITIES AND
URGE THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT TO
INTERVENE.
HE OUTLINED A CHILLING DETAILS.
AND SAID THE FOLLOWING HOMES
WERE LITERALLY UPROOTED MEN
KILLED WOMEN AND GIRLS VIOLATED.
DAILY.
HE CONTINUED TO EXPLAIN HOW
ORDERS WERE GIVEN THE GOVERNOR'S
OF PROVINCES TO SEND INTO EXILE.
THE ENTIRE ARMENIAN POPULATION
IRRESPECTIVE OF AGE AND SEX.
CHILDREN WERE THROWN INTO THE
RIVERS.
IN REFLECTING ON THE WORLD'S
FAILURE TO ACT DECISIVELY
AGAINST THE GENOCIDE.
HE ASKED.
WILL DEFINITELY STEPS THE
PROBABLY TAKEN TO RESCUE
PERMANENTLY THE REMNANTS OF
THESE FINE OLD CIVILIZED. PEOPLE
FROM TURKS.
HUNDRED YEARS LATER WE'RE STILL
ASKING SIMILAR QUESTIONS IN THAT
VERY SAME REGION.
CHANGE THE PLAYERS.
IN FACT IT WAS AMBASSADOR
MORGENTHAU'S PERSONAL TELEGRAM
TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE IN
WASHINGTON.
IN SEPTEMBER NINETEEN FIFTEEN
THAT SPARKED THE AMERICAN LED
RELIEF CAMPAIGN.
WHICH WAS NOTED BY OUR COLLEAGUE
FROM MONTEBELLO.
THE NEAR EASTERN RELIEF WHICH
HELP SAVE MORE THAN MILLION
ARMENIAN LIVES.
AND OVER A HUNDRED AND THIRTY
TWO THOUSAND ORPHANS WERE FOUND
ALL THROUGHOUT THE DESERT'S AND
THAT'S WHAT ACTUALLY RECREATED
THE ARMENIAN STATE.
I CAN'T HELP BUT TO REMEMBER TO
POINT AND WORDS OF DOCTOR MARTIN
LUTHER KING JUNIOR. WHEN HE SO
ACCURATELY STATED IN THE END WE
WILL REMEMBER NOT THE WORDS OF
OUR ENEMIES. BUT THE SILENCE OF
OUR FRIENDS.
RESPECT THE FIGHT THAT IS SEND
THIS BACK BEFORE DESPITE THE
FACT THAT A CENTURY. HAS PASSED
SINCE THIS HORRIFIC CRIME
AGAINST HUMANITY. MANY.
OUR SPEAKING UP AND ON BEHALF OF
THE JOBS JUST BECAUSE OF
ARMENIANS.
THE ARE SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THE
INABILITY TO HEAL WOUNDS.
ABOUT THE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE
ABOUT MANKIND'S INDIFFERENCE TO
THE UNSPEAKABLE SUFFERING OF AN
INNOCENT PEOPLE. THEY'RE
SPEAKING ABOUT DENIAL. FROM
EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD FROM
EUROPE TO ASIA TO AMERICA THEY
SPEAKING ABOUT DENIAL.
POPE FRANCIS SAID IT BEST WHEN
HE STATED CONCEALING OR DENYING
EVIL IS LIKE ALLOWING A WOUND.
I KEEP BLEEDING WITHOUT
BANDAGING IT.
THE MESSAGE HAS NEVER BEEN
CLEAR.
STATEMENTS STATEMENTS SUCH AS
THESE REPRESENT WHAT ARMENIANS
HAVEN'T TOURED SINCE NINETEEN
FIFTEEN. AT THE COST OF GENOCIDE
DENIAL.
THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE
PERPETRATORS OF THIS HEINOUS
ATROCITY TO ACCEPT THEIR PAST.
AND BEGIN THE SLOW PAINFUL
PROCESS OF HEALING.
THE PROCESS BEGINS WITH CALLING
WHAT OCCURRED A HUNDRED YEARS
AGO BY ITS NAME.
GENOCIDE.
THE LEADERS OF TURKEY TODAY DENY
THAT GENOCIDE EVER TOOK PLACE.
BY ATTEMPTING TO CONCEAL THE
TRUTH AND BY CONTINUING TO USE
RHETORIC THAT SUGGEST THEY ARE
UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE. THEIR
BLOODY PAST IT IS CLEAR THEY
INTEND TO CARRY ON THE SAME
APPROACH FOR THE NEXT HUNDRED
YEARS.
UNTIL AND UNLESS THE ARE
PRESSURED TO COME TO TERMS WITH
THEIR HISTORY OPENLY AND
HONESTLY.
WHEN PRETTY PRESIDENT ERDOGAN
CONDEMNED THE POPE'S STATEMENT.
A FEW YEARS AGO.
AND WARNED HIM NOT TO MAKE
SIMILAR MISTAKES AGAIN.
IS THE HEAD OF A STATE.
SPOKE VOLUMES ABOUT TURKEY'S
PLANS TO ACCEPT ITS OWN HISTORY
AND THE COUNTRY'S PLANS FOR
GENUINE RECONCILIATION.
I JUST LIKE TO LEAVE YOU WITH
THE WORDS OF A SILLY GROSSMAN A
SURVIVOR WHO LOST HIS MOTHER
DURING THE HOLOCAUST.
I HAVE SEEN THAT IT IS NOT MAN
WHO IS IMPOTENT.
IN THE STRUGGLE AGAINST EVIL.
BUT THE POWER OF EVIL. THAT IS
IMPOTENT IN THE STRUGGLE AGAINST
MEN.
POWERLESSNESS OF KINDNESS
OF SENSELESS KINDNESS.
IS THE SECRET OF ITS
IMMORTALITY.
IT CAN NEVER BE CONQUERED.
HUMAN HISTORY IS NOT THE BATTLE
OF GOOD STRUGGLING OVER TO
OVERCOME EVIL.
IT IS A BATTLE FOUGHT BY A GREAT
EVIL.
STRUGGLING TO CRUSH A SMALL
KERNEL.
OF HUMAN KINDNESS.
BUT IF WHAT IS HUMAN IN HUMAN
BEINGS HAS NOT BEEN DESTROYED
EVEN NOW.
THEN EVIL WILL NEVER CONQUER.

THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER AND

WITH A VERY HEAVY HEART I ALSO
WE ADJOURN THE MEMORY OF WILL
RODGERS THE CURRENT MAYOR OF
BURBANK.
WILL PASSED AWAY LAST WEEK AFTER
A LONG BATTLE WITH CANCER.
HE WAS REALLY ONE OF THE
GREATEST SOULS I'VE EVER KNOWN
IN A VERY VERY DEAR FRIEND.
HE WAS ALWAYS WARM AND WELCOMING
AND GENUINE VERY VERY GENUINE.
HE WAS A MASTER COMMUNICATOR AND
STORY TELLER.
HIS WAY OF ROPING YOU IN AND
TAKING YOU FOR A JOURNEY
WHATEVER HE SPOKE MADE HIM ONE
OF OUR MOST INCLUSIVE LEADERS.
HIT A REALLY DARK SENSE OF HUMOR
WHICH I ALWAYS APPRECIATED. AND.
THIS OF VERY MUCH LOVED IN THE
BURBANK COMMUNITY.
WILL MOVE TO LOS ANGELES IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY NINE AND WORK
AS AN ACTOR IN A WRITER FOR THE
LA WEEKLY AND SEVERAL OTHER
PUBLICATIONS.
HE CONTINUED HIS CAREER IN
JOURNALISM AS A COLUMNIST FOR
THE BURBANK LEADER AND RECEIVED
SEVERAL AWARDS FROM THE
CALIFORNIA NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS
ASSOCIATION.
HE THEN DECIDED TO RUN FOR CITY
COUNCIL.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAIN
ABOUT CITY COUNCILS.
WHAT PEOPLE WRITE ABOUT THEM AND
COVER THEM BUT HOW MANY
JOURNALISTS YOU KNOW? AFTER
COVERING A CITY COUNCIL DECIDE
TO TAKE THE PLUNGE AND PUT
THEMSELVES OUT THERE. AND RUN
FOR THAT COUNCIL BUT WILL DID
THAT I DON'T EVER FORGET THAT I
WAS ABLE TO MODERATE A FORUM IN
WHICH HE WAS A CANDIDATE AND HE
ALWAYS MODERATED FORUMS IN
GLENDALE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL
CANDIDATES. WHEN I WAS A
CANDIDATE MYSELF MY VERY FIRST
CITY COUNCIL RACE HE WOULD ASK
THESE REALLY HARD QUESTIONS AT
OUR MEMBERS SITTING THERE
THINKING. IF THIS GUY ONLY KNEW
IT WAS REALLY LIKE TO BE A LOCAL
OFFICE HE WOULDN'T ASK THESE
QUESTIONS BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST
RIDICULOUS QUESTIONS I CAN'T
TELL YOU. HOW ARE WE GOING TO
BALANCE THE BUDGET IN ONE
MINUTE?
SO WHEN I GOT TO MODERATE HIS
FORM I REALLY HAD FUN ASKING HIM
ALL THOSE SAME HARD QUESTIONS.
AND AFTERWARDS HE WALKED UP TO
ME AND HE SAID.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT EVER
SINCE I'VE BEEN RUNNING I'VE
BEEN THINKING ABOUT WHEN I USED
TO MODERATE THOSE FORMS AND HOW
UNFAIR THOSE QUESTIONS WERE NOW
THAT I'M DOING IT MYSELF. AND I
REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU
CANDIDATES GO THROUGH AND IF I
WAS GOING TO GO BACK AND DO
JOURNALISM AGAIN I DO A LITTLE
BIT DIFFERENTLY AND HOW I
COVERED THE CITY COUNCIL ON THE
CANDIDATES. IT WAS REALLY
WONDERFUL THAT HE WAS ABLE TO
HAVE THAT JOURNEY IN HIS CAREER
BECAUSE I KNOW HE HAD ALWAYS
WANTED TO DO THAT. SO IT WAS
SUCH A JOY WHEN HE WON HIS CITY
COUNCIL RACE AND BECAME THE
MAYOR.
HE WAS MY FRIEND HE WAS A ROLE
MODEL HE WAS AN INSPIRATION TO
ME.
THE CRAP PASSING OF WILL REALLY
HURTS ME AND I KNOW IT HURT SO
MANY IN THE BURBANK COMMUNITY.
BUT I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY THAT WE ALL HAD TO
KNOW HIM. TO WATCH HIM SERVE HIS
COMMUNITY.
AND TO INSPIRE A WHOLE OTHER
GENERATION OF COUNCIL MEMBERS TO
BE AND JOURNALISTS.
WILLIS SURVIVED BY HIS WIFE
NANCY HIS DAUGHTER SARAH AND HIS
SON STUFF IN.
AS WE ADJOURN TODAY IN HIS
MEMORY WE EXTEND OUR THOUGHTS
AND PRAYERS TO HIS ENTIRE FAMILY
DURING THIS PAINFUL. TIME TO THE
WHOLE COMMUNITY IN BURBANK AND I

SHARE. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WELL
