Armenian San Diegans view Biden s proclamation of genocide as step in long battle for recognition

President Biden on Saturday formally recognized as a genocide the killing of more than 1 million Armenians starting in 1915, a label long used by historians but resisted by U.S. presidents to avoid angering Turkey, an important ally. The decision is a victory for Armenian diaspora communities, notably in Southern California, that have spent decades fighting for such recognition only to be repeatedly disappointed by previous presidents. “Each year on this day, we remember the lives of all those who died in the Ottoman-era Armenian genocide and recommit ourselves to preventing such an atrocity from ever again occurring,” Biden said. He added that Armenian Americans “have enriched the United States in countless ways, but they have never forgotten the tragic history that brought so many of their ancestors to our shores.”

He’ll always remember that morning when his then-56-year-old father took him and his sister, Katie, out to breakfast for a heart-to-heart talk. Jackson found out that his dad had a disease, known also as ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing loss of muscle control, typically leading to paralysis.
