RHODE ISLAND, APRIL 8, ARMENIANS TODAY – NOYAN TAPAN. The Town
Council of Rhode Island denied the Armenian National Committee of
Rhode Island’s request to fly the Armenian flag at Town Hall, citing
the Jamestown Flag Policy adopted by the Town Council on May 29,
2001 as the reason for the decision. It should be mentioned that the
Armenian National Committee has decided to fly the Armenian flag over
different cities of the Unites States of America on the occasion of
the 93-rd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
