THE LASTHUNDRED YEARS”

AN ARMENIANJOURNEY

Directed by Fred Bologna

The Armenian Genocide Centennial – Fresno Committee is organizing and promoting various events to commemorate the 1.5 million Armenian martyrs who perished at the hands of the Ottoman Turkish Government, thus raising awareness about the Armenian Genocide on its 100th anniversary. Our mission is to educate others about the Armenian Genocide as well as similar cases of man’s inhumanity to man and ultimately to inspire people to overcome adversity through the stories of its survivors.
