More than 300 people attended a ceremony commemorating the Armenian
Genocide on Wednesday at Glendale Adventist Medical Center.

The event included speakers as well as an art exhibit.

One of the speakers was Ramella Markarian, vice president of business
development at the hospital.

“As individuals and as nations, we do not have the power to rewind
history.. we cannot restore life to the thousands of Bosnians,
Rwandans, Jewish and Armenians who were ruthlessly massacred, but we
do have the power to unite and strive to prevent future genocides,”
she said in her prepared speech.

“Let us use this day of remembrance as an opportunity to raise
awareness, to unite, to pray and to reflect and collectively strive
to ensure that such horrific events never, ever happen again.”
