The Canberra Association of Pontos in works with our Federation of Pontian Associations of Australia, the Armenians and Assyrians, have been fighting for recognition in the ACT of the atrocities committed by the Ottomans, the Genocide of 1915. Please sign this petition to the ACT legislative assembly to recognise the Greek-Armenian-Assyrian Genocide.

Thanking you in advance 💛🖤💛

Thank you Caitlin Tough MLA for your support.

Please sign our petition!!! https://epetitions.parliament.act.gov.au/details/e-pet-013-26

I support this petition, which asks the ACT Legislative Assembly to consider including education on the experiences of the Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek communities during the period of World War I and its aftermath within the ACT school curriculum.

The petition focuses on increasing historical awareness and understanding of events that affected these communities between 1915 and 1923.
