LOS ANGELES -- Armenian Americans will gather at several events throughout Los Angeles County Sunday to mark the 107th anniversary of the beginning of the Armenian Genocide -- the mass killing of Armenians by Turkish forces during World War I.
Gov. Gavin Newsom has also issued a proclamation declaring April 24, 2022"A Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide" in the State of California. In Los Angeles, at 3 p.m. Sunday, the Armenian Youth Federation will hold a protest outside the Turkish Consulate at 8500 Wilshire Blvd. to demand the Turkish government acknowledge the genocide and stop its support of Azerbaijan in the Artsakh, a region fought over by Azerbaijan and Armenia.
This week's Remembrance Day motion by the L.A. County Supervisors -- co-introduced by Supervisors Hilda Solis and Kathryn Barger -- said, in part,"Despite overwhelming evidence, the Turkish government still denies the occurrence of an Armenian Genocide.
