“I am honored to join the California Armenian Legislative Caucus Foundation. California is home to the largest population of Armenian Americans. Each year we celebrate April 24th, the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, when the Ottoman Empire commenced the systematic murder of more than 1.5 million Armenians. I stand with the other legislative members in the California Armenian Legislative Caucus Foundation to recognize that Armenians continue to face an existential threat at the hands of Turkey and Azerbaijan. We know that more still needs to be done to protect Armenia’s sovereignty and the freedom of its people.” Assemblymember Laurie Davies (R-Laguna Niguel)
