DEAN CAIN MARCHES IN ARMENIAN PROTEST

Actor DEAN CAIN joined hundreds of Armenian-Americans marching in the
streets of Hollywood on Sunday (24APR05) to mark the 90th anniversary
of the mass killings of Armenians by Turks.

Wearing black T-shirts emblazoned with the words “We’ve Had Enough”
and hoisting signs saying “Truth Always Prevails” the crowd marched
down Hollywood Boulevard in Little Armenia while leaders released
doves into the sky.

Many expressed their desire to have the killings recognised by Turkey
and the rest of the world as a genocide.

Cain, 38, says, “People were talking about losing two-thirds of their
family, or their entire extended family. So it’s really inspired me
to learn a lot more about it.”

The Armenian government says up to 1.5 million Armenians died over
several years as part of a campaign to force them out of Turkey.

Turkey does not deny that many Armenians died, but says most deaths
were part of the general unrest during the collapse of the Ottoman
Empire.
