Massachusetts Committee to Commemorate the Armenian Genocide

The Massachusetts Committee to Commemorate the Armenian Genocide is an umbrella organization representing all the Armenian advocacy, athletic, cultural, educational, political, religious, and service organizations in Massachusetts and the surrounding communities. The committee aims to educate the public and increase awareness of the crime and denial of genocide and the lasting effects thereto, with specific emphasis on the Armenian Genocide of 1915. It also aims to promote understanding of the Armenian Genocide through mass communications and public forums; preserve the memory of the Armenian Genocide and its over one and a half million victims; and finally to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in the Greater Boston area. The Committee will coordinate programming nationally with Washington DC and internationally with the Republic of Armenia.
