LOWELL, Mass.—The 105th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide was commemorated in Lowell on Friday, April 24 with the raising of the Armenian flag at Lowell City Hall. The mayor of Lowell, the Honorable John Leahy, also issued a proclamation.
The commemoration, organized by the Armenian National Committee (ANC) of the Merrimack Valley, was closed to the public in order to adhere to the proper social distancing guidelines.
A few members of the local Armenian-American Community were on hand to receive the proclamation by Mayor Leahy calling for a Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Armenian Genocide, 1915-1923, by the Ottoman Turkish government.
We wish to thank Mayor Leahy & the City of Lowell for the recognition & Proclamation on the 105th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide along with the raising of the Armenian Flag.
…wishing to respect the many years of dedication by Steve, Ara, Aram, Armen….Tom was with them !
