ANCA-WR delegation stood in the halls of California's State Capitol to witness a historic milestone: the reestablishment of the California State Assembly's Select Committee on California and Armenia Mutual Trade, Art and Cultural Exchange.

With over one million Armenian Americans calling California home, this committee gives our community an institutional voice in shaping policy that matters: trade and economic partnership, education and cultural exchange, and principled advocacy for Armenian rights and dignity.

On Assyrian Martyrs' Day, the ANCA-WR Region joins the Assyrian people in honoring those killed at Simele on August 7, 1933, and all Assyrian martyrs before and since.

Hundreds of unarmed Assyrians were killed at Simele and in the surrounding villages by Iraqi forces. Most had been resettled there as survivors of the Assyrian Genocide, having been promised safety in a country that failed to provide it. The Assyrian Genocide and the Armenian Genocide were carried out by the same empire against neighboring peoples, and both remain denied. Our communities have pursued recognition and justice alongside one another for more than a century.

The ANCA-WR stands with the Assyrian community in Southern California and around the world.
