During the commemoration of the 93rd Anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide, the Las Vegas Armenian community honored Congresswoman Shelly
Berkley with a plaque for her relentless efforts for congressional
recognition of the Armenian Genocide of 1915.

The packed audience at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV)
applauded Congresswoman Berkley’s strong position on the issue. After
accepting the plaque from the event chair, Hriyr John Dadaian,
Congresswoman Berkley noted, "as a Jew, it is a shame to deny somebody
else’s genocide and that it is why I cannot deny what happened to
the Armenians and I will continue to support recognition."
