I am David, part of the Regional Assembly of America. I want to thank ASUC mentors for providing a space for Cal students to feel they belong, and thank you for introducing the upcoming resolution. There have been two wars, one in 2020, with a loss of Armenian soldiers' lives. There are 23 known hostages held illegally where families have suffered by the regime. We hope that the student body will stand for the freedom and human rights of everyone.
I am an international student from Armenia. On today's agenda, there is a resolution. I will not talk about why that resolution is important, but if you are familiar with this issue, you will understand why. I thank all the co-sponsors for the passing of the resolution and for the opportunity for this type of resolution to be passed.
