#Share4Aurora | Serj Tankian

As lead singer of the rock band System of a Down (SOAD), Serj Tankian has used his international fame to speak out on the Armenian Genocide by means of both his work and all other imaginable platforms. 

In 2002, Tankian and Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello co-founded a non-profit political activist organization called Axis of Justice. Serj has spoken about genocide and the need for justice on many occasions: “I think it's about the necessity to bring justice to this issue. Additionally, it is also to bring focus and attention to genocide in general. We've seen it happening today, we've seen it happening in recent history, in the last 15, 20 years... it's still occurring. Irrespective of the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, Darfur and Cambodia, all this stuff is still occurring. So that's important to me, because it's modern, it's not World War I, it's now.”
