NEW YORK, 04/22/1999, (ANN/Groong) -- On Friday, April 23, ABC's
, "World News Tonight" is scheduled to air a
5-minute segment on the Armenian Genocide, with Peter Balakian 
and
interviews with survivors.

This is part of an effort by ABC to make up for the exclusion of 
the
Armenian Genocide in the Peter Jennings series/book, "The 
Century". A
segment on "World News Tonight" generally attracts an estimated 
14
million viewers nationally.

As always, the segment is scheduled for Friday, other major news
events permitting. If, for unseen reasons the segment does not 
air on
Friday, it will rescheduled for Saturday.
