My Dear Governor,

The Proclamation by the State of New York recognising the Hellenes victims of the Turkish Genocide in 1922, is a noble act of courage.

In moments where truth and justice are being supressed by tyranical regimes else where in the world; you take a determined stance to pass a resolution that reminds the rest of New Yorkers and Americans, that the US should not and will not forget mistakes of the past.

All of my Grandparents were refugees from Asia Minor, a place where Greek civilization flourished and progressed. Yet, after 1922, all Turkish Governments have done their outmost to eradicate anything and everything that reminds to the visitor the 2000 year old Greek presence.

Let us hope that other States will follow your example.

God Bless You and The State Of New York

A Hellene From London, UK
