The student government at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), in the United States, voted to pass a resolution designating the month of April 2015 as a “Month of Commemoration for the 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide of 1915,” reported Asbarez.

This resolution now allows CSUN Associated Students (AS) to host a special presentation on the Armenian Genocide and its commemorative events.

The CSUN AS also calls on US President Barack Obama to provide federal support and recognition of these atrocious crimes against humanity and work toward equitable, constructive, stable, and durable Armenian-Turkish relations based upon the Republic of Turkey’s full acknowledgment, with reparations, of the facts and ongoing consequences of the Armenian Genocide.

To note, nearly 10 percent of the 40,000 CSUN students are of Armenian heritage.
