Armenian Genocide
Centenary Commemoration Committee
The Armenian Genocide Centenary Commemoration Committee was formed in May 2012, in the presence of civic dignitaries and representatives of over 25 community-based organisations, in line with other Armenian Diaspora communities world-wide. Its mission is summarised as follows:
The committee is represented by 15 members from all major organisations in the UK; in addition, four subcommittees have been invited to assist with specific responsibilities in the following areas: Political, Cultural, Media and Finance (Fundraising).
The Cultural Subcommittee includes representatives from the Armenian General Benevolent Union, Armenian Institute, Hamazkayin Cultural and Educational Society, Tekeyan Cultural Association and Nor Serount Cultural Association.
The diverse activities being planned for 2015 require a systematic approach and appropriate budget. The Committee is determined to cooperate with all sectors of the community and local authorities in order to maximise the success of the campaign to promote the Recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the Government in the UK.
It is imperative that such a campaign would require the support and cooperation of the community at large and its establishments. We are certain that through a united front, a collective effort, well targeted activities and proper coordination and communication, the AGCCC will go a long way towards fulfilling its mission.
