one and a half million Armenian men, women and children were killed.

Today, those who rallied at the Federal Building in Salt Lake pushed

any history book, and you know, people should know what happened.”

Protesters say 37 states across the US recognize the Armenian massacre
as a genocide. They hope to get legislation passed in Utah recognizing
the mass extermination.
