THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE MONUMENT COUNCIL OF GLENDALE

The Armenian Genocide Monument Council of Glendale is an organization dedicated to enhancing cross cultural understanding amongst the different cultural and ethnic groups in the City of Glendale by promoting respect for past historical events and the recognition thereof through continuous education, specifically that of the Armenian Genocide.

Building a commemorative memorial in the City of Glendale dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide, the first genocide of the 20th Century, will serve as a befitting venue to begin the educational process of honoring the memory of those who perished and acknowledging the memories of the heroic deeds and acts of the Americans whose actions helped save thousands of helpless Armenian men, women and children from the rage of the Genocide.
