As recently as January of this year. a TurkishArmenian journalist. Hrant Dink. was murdered because of his outspoken advocacy for Turkish recognition of the Armenian genocide. This incident serves as an important reminder that an open. informed. and tolerant discussion of the genocide is critical. California is home to many of the descendants of the genocides survivors. who immigrated to the United States and. over the course of a few decades. built strong and vibrant communities. Working closely with the ArmenianAmerican community over my many years in public service. I know how alive and painful this issue continues to be for many Armenian Americans.
