PASADENA, Calif.””As the Armenian Nation has been commemorating the Centennial of the Genocide all over the world, Armenians along with other ethnic minorities are still being killed and uprooted from their homes in such countries as Iraq, Syria and Egypt, where they had found shelter for over a century. Democracy is not the accepted form of government in the Middle East and even in the 21st Century, civilization is regressing instead of progressing.
AGBU Hye Geen, as a group of women within the civil society, organized on May 19 an evening with Sarah Leah Whitson, an attorney who is currently the Executive Director of Human Rights Watch, Middle East and North Africa division.
The event took place at the AGBU Vatche and Tamar Manoukian Center in Pasadena and was robustly attended by a public who has for several years been following the conflict in the Middle East with grave concern.
Ms. Whitson explained that “Resistance versus Repression”
