It was April 24 in Yerevan, Armenia, and Mika Melikyan was with three of his other 7th grade classmates at the city’s Tsitsernakaberd Armenian Genocide Memorial. The memorial is made of two parts. First, 12 inwardly slanted stones overlooking an eternal flame, which represents the mourning in memory of the 1.5 million victims. Second, a tall monolith representing rebirth from those atrocities.
Like this monolith, Melikyan and his classmates were grounded and standing in solidarity for those lost, but represent another generation that has been raised out of the atrocities in 1915.
In 2015, the SDSU sophomore and his family won the Green Card Lottery and immigrated to the United States, whose Congress has recognized the genocide since 2019. However, since President Ronald Reagan mentioned the Armenian genocide in a proclamation that commemorated the Holocaust, other presidents have been reluctant to use the word “genocide.”
