My nephew is now a distinguished Stanford Student, with a scholarship from the Armenian Community. My niece is a straight “A” Sophomore in High School, here in the San Francisco Bay Area. They’re both are a quarter Armenian from their maternal grandmother. It would’ve been better if this legislation was completed 6 years ago; however, my mom and I educated them about the Armenian Genocide, and the tragic fate of their distant ancestral relatives in Moush.
In Wikipedia, White Genocide makes reference to the dispersal and assimilation of the descendants of Armenian Genocide Survivors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Genocide
“Western Armenians consider Armenians who assimilate within the local population of the country where they were eventually forced to emigrate (such as United States, France, Argentina, Canada etc.) as lost to their nation due to the continuing exile after the actual genocide itself, and thus consider that lost Armenian to be another victim of the genocidal attempt to eliminate the Armenians.”
Long live Armenia and long live my fellow Armenian’s.
Thanks! History is always commandeered by the victors. It is gratifying to give our ancestors their rightful place.
Bravo to California!
Now let’s assimilate Armenian massacre history
Into the history books/ curriculum used in the USA and the world!
