Flag Raising in Fresno

April 23, 2005

The Armenian Flag will be raised in front of Fresno's City Hall. This is the second year in a row this is being done. Last year there were about 800 people there to witness it this year we'll try to get 1600. The flag stays up the whole day; we're doing well in Fresno.

Any other cities where commemorations are occuring?

Try any city in Southern California. There are going to be marches and protests here. It's that time of the year again...

Thank god it's the Armenian flag and it's in Fresno. Otherwise we would have all the WASPs in Glendale bawling their eyes out.

Yay i live in fresno maybe me and my family will go watch it. My dad's birthday is on the 24th which sucks, he hates celebrating it so we just get a gift and say happy birthday. But anyway I think we should invite all the turks we know to this great event.............. AND THEN BURN THEM

[Armine]

Ok why should you blame the Turks who are living today? Do not be hateful! Turks today who are 3rd generation as you are, had nothing to do with what had happened, they don’t even know what had happened, they don’t even want to know, after all this hate we are displaying. I think Armenians are lowering themselves to what drove those Turks 3 generations ago to commit such an act.
sorry, I get worked up

Perhaps he's looking at it the wrong way. Yes, it is a day for mourning, BUT....on a day when the Turks set out to end the existence of all Armenians....here is your dad, showing how the Turks failed in the strongest way possible. I think we should celebrate the birth of a life on a day that was supposed to bring our death as an ironic symbol of our resilience, and the ultimate slap in the face to the Turks.

Thank You,
