BY GAREN YEGPARIAN I write these words as someone who:
1- was long dissatisfied with our almost exclusive pursuit of Genocide recognition on the external political front; 2- was thrilled when, about a decade ago, we started raising the issues of reparations and territorial restoration; and, 3- listens to people’s passing comments and attempts to discern emerging mindsets in our community. I am concerned. There is a worrisome dismissiveness rising towards our Genocide recognition, awareness rising, and commemorative activity. The most recent comment I heard, just a few days ago, was “I’m not that interested in April 24.”
Your generosity empowers our advocacy, inspires our work, and sustains our momentum.
