Armenian Americans celebrated the news Saturday that President Joe Biden formally declared the systematic killing and deportation of hundreds of thousands of their ancestors by Ottoman Empire forces in the early 1900s to be “genocide,” saying the recognition was long overdue. His action came after decades of activism, most of which was centered in California, home of the largest Armenian community in the nation. 
“He s the first American president to have the guts to talk about it. I never understood why the U.S. waited this long when they knew the truth about what happened. It s amazing and I m very happy he did what he did,” said Varoujan Kioudjian, 74. He was among hundreds of people who streamed to a hilltop monument in Montebello, about 10 miles (16 kilometers) east of downtown Los Angeles, to mark Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.  ....

California Senate Committee Approves Bill to Allow Divestment of Turkey
04/23/2021 United States (International Christian Concern) – A bill in California that requires the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) and State Teacher’s Retirement System (STRS) to allow school districts and cities opt out of investment vehicles issued or owned by the Republic of Turkey passed the Senate Labor, Public Employment, and Retirement Committee on Tuesday. Senator Anthony J. Portantino, who introduced the bill, highlighted just how important it would be to California’s large Armenian population.
“Many public employees of CalPERS and CalSTRS are descendants of Armenian Genocide survivors and most of them had to relieve the intergenerational trauma during the recent Artsakh war, in which Turkey was heavily involved,” he said. ....
