TO: The Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly
Reason for this Petition
The following residents of the ACT draw the attention of the Assembly to the genocide committed against the Armenian, Assyrian and Greek peoples by the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1923. During this period, an estimated two million people were killed and hundreds of thousands were forcibly displaced.
Requested Actions
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call on the ACT Government to amend the ACT primary and secondary school World War I curriculum to include education on the systematic mass killings and deportations of the Armenian, Assyrian and Greek communities under the Ottoman Empire.
