The Pan Armenian Council of the Western United States of America has been monitoring the recent alarming outbreak of anti-Armenian hate crimes in the United States, Russia and Europe, the most recent being the shocking vandalism of the Krouzian-Zakarian Armenian Elementary School in San Francisco, the St. Paul Armenian Church in Fresno and the Armenian Genocide Memorial in Colorado.
The organizations of the Pan Armenian Council vehemently condemn these acts of violence and terror.
It is clear that these crimes are a perpetuation of the xenophobic anti-Armenian official state policy of Azerbaijan with tacit support by Turkey.
The Armenian community will not be intimidated by such deplorable acts. The Pan Armenian Council stands in solidarity with the Armenian community in denouncing these crimes.
We call on all law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies to investigate and prosecute those responsible for these crimes.

Armenian diaspora communities around the world need to ramp up their security measures. Armenian schools shouldn’t be left vulnerable to vandalism. It shouldn’t be difficult to hire security guards to man the outer perimeter of these schools.
