| | SYSTEM OF A DOWN PRESS FOR ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RECOGNITION DURING THREE-DAY WASHINGTON, DC ADVOCACY TOUR |
 | | WASHINGTON, DC - Serj Tankian and John Dolmayan of the Grammy Award-winning band System of a Down raised awareness, garnered national press attention on the Armenian Genocide and pressed legislators for action on legislation condemning this crime during their three-day advocacy tour of the nation's capital, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA). |
 | | Last September, Serj and John traveled personally to the Speaker's district office in Batavia, Illinois, along with hundreds of their fans, to deliver a letter requesting a meeting about allowing a vote on Armenian Genocide legislation that had recently been overwhelmingly approved by the House International Relations Committee. |
 | | The members of System of a Down, Serj Tankian, Daron Malakian, John Dolmayan and Shavo Odadjian, who are of Armenian descent, all personally lost family members and family history to the Armenian Genocide. |
