Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo issued a proclamation recognizing the Armenian Genocide, Pasadena Now reports.
Gordo said we should always remember a chapter of our shared human history that must never be forgotten.
“In Pasadena, we stand united with our Armenian brothers and sisters. We honor the memory of those who were lost,” Gordo said. “And we reaffirm our collective responsibility—to speak truth, to combat denial, and to ensure that such atrocities never happen again.
“Let this remembrance be more than a reflection on the past. Let it be a call to build a future grounded in justice, compassion, and enduring peace.
“On behalf of the City Council, I proclaim April 24, 2025, as a Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide in the City of Pasadena.”
