Glendale, CA - Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the precautions being taken to prevent the spread of the virus, the City of Glendale will present an alternative to its Annual Armenian Genocide Commemorative event that was scheduled to take place on April 24, 2020 at the beautiful Alex Theatre. In lieu of the live in-person commemoration, the City of Glendale has coordinated a virtual experience to be released on Thursday, April 23, 2020 at 7:00 PM. This is a very important event for Glendale, and the City’s GTV6 team has been working hard to produce a video montage of previous years’ events, which will include video messages of solidarity from Glendale Mayor Vrej Agajanian, Councilmembers Najarian, Devine, Kassakhian, and Brotman, as well as Congressman Adam Schiff, Senator Anthony Portantino, Assemblymember Laura Friedman, and LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger. The video will be broadcast on GTV6, channel 6 (Spectrum) and channel 99 (AT&T), as well as streamed on Facebook.com/MyGlendale, Instagram.com/MyGlendale/Channel, and YouTube.com/MyGlendale.

In addition, the City of Glendale will broadcast the feature documentary “What Will Become of Us” produced by Stephanie Ayanian. The documentary will be broadcast on GTV6, channel 6 (Spectrum) and channel 99 (AT&T) on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 7:00 PM.

The City of Glendale looks forward to bringing a reimagined event that brings our community together in a video that allows us to reflect upon the lives of the 1.5 million Armenian people who senselessly lost their lives in an act of genocide, while marking the passage of Congressional resolutions.  We are stronger together, even when we are apart.
