Contact: Nikolaos Taneris, New York, Tel. 1-917-699-9935 NEW YORK—The Cyprus Action Network of America (CANA) joins the Jasenovac Holocaust Commemorations, organized by the The Jasenovac Research Institute (JRI) in New York City on the weekend of May 3-May 4, 2008. The Jasenovac Research Institute (JRI) produces research and documentation and organizes events in remembrance of the Jewish Holocaust, and actively engages the public and officials around the world in the cause of justice for the many victims of the Jasenovac concentration camp by Fascists allied with the Nazis. Moreover, JRI is also actively involved in the noble cause of drawing attention to the Fascists who have yet to be brought to justice for perpetrating and collaborating in this crime of genocide, according to the JRI “From August 1941 to April 1945, hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Jews, and Romas, as well as anti-fascists of many nationalities, were murdered at the death camp known as Jasenovac. Estimates of the total numbers of men, women and children killed there range from 300,000 to 700,000.” (From the Brochure of the Jasenovac Research Institute, written by JRI Research Director Barry Lituchy, ) CANA Press Officer Nikolaos Taneris will be speaking on the theme “Turkey and Hitler in the Balkans” at both the JRI 5th Annual dinner on Saturday evening and at the commemoration in Holocaust Memorial Park in Brooklyn this Sunday. As descendents of survivors of ethnic cleansing and Genocide we stand in solidarity with all victims of Genocides , both known and unknown, recognized and unrecognized, and strive to reaffirm a commitment by Hellenic-Americans of conscience who, for many years, remain determined, to secure full recognition and justice for Turkey’s crimes. All friends and supporters of our cause of justice for Cyprus are encouraged to attend and support the Jasenovac Holocaust commemoration events this weekend in New York, we need to build on human relationships, to form coalitions, to stand in solidarity, and reinforce the strengths that bind us all together as victims of crimes against humanity.
