           COMMENTS  

           Purpose  .  According to the text of the resolution, the Armenian  
          Genocide Martyrs Monument was erected in 1965 in Bicknell Park  
          in the City of Montebello and serves as a beacon of awareness of  
          all crimes against humanity.  The monument is the site of  
          religious and cultural commemorations by the Armenian community  
          in southern California.
