As the Armenian diaspora in the U.S. continues its political efforts
to make the so-called genocide allegations recognized, the Armenian
Genocide Memorial Committee has mobilized to build a genocide memorial
in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Following the meeting between Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman and
Armenian representative Lois Tarkanian, Goodman announced the
municipality will allocate land in downtown Las Vegas for the erection
of the memorial.

The committee’s website said Goodman promised Armenian representatives
that the memorial would be erected.

A budget of $150,000 has been allocated for the memorial.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
