That group's unsavory tactics have included typing up online petitions with fake names and addresses demanding content on the Armenian Genocide be removed, as well as jereing and heckling of TDSB trustees during January's monthly TDSB meeting which focused on the issue.

At the same meeting, prominent guests and friends of the Armenian National Committee of Canada came out in support of the program. Among them were famous Montreal-based genocide scholar Frank Chalk, human rights advocate and criminal lawyer Leo Adler, the Hon. Jim Karygiannis, MP, and former Speaker of the Ontario Legislative Assembly David Warner.

A letter signed by prominent Canadians such as Stephen Lewis, Gerald Caplan, Jack Layton, Bob Rae and others encouraged the TDSB "stand firm by its decision and not to be swayed by politically motivated pressure groups." It was read by Adler at the meeting.

ANCC's executive director, Aris Babikian, has also presented the TDSB with several well-documented sources that reinforce the historical veracity of the Armenian Genocide, as well as a 2643-signature petition urging the school board trustees to stay the course.

The ANCC will have more news as it breaks.
