99 - all you should know about the Genocide April, 2014 | Page 13

My activism and
politicization came
from the hypocrisy
of the denial in the
US of the Armenian
Genocide. Even
with the genocide
convention at
the UN, and all
these different
committees and
sub-committees
designed to tackle
genocide, it is still
a modern human
disease that's not
fully looked after
by the international
community. We
have to take a stand
against this modern
disease called
"genocide."

Serj
Tankian

Renowned American-Armenian
musician, lead vocalist of band System
of a Down. He has his own recording
studio, which is called Serjical
Strike. Tankian often gives speeches
condemning injustice and cruelty.
Tankian has partnered with Tom
Morello to create the Axis of Justice,
which is an organization that aims to
support young people in protecting
their political rights. They have
organized numerous charity drives and
put in a lot of effort to force the United
States and Turkey to recognize and
accept the Armenian Genocide.
