On June 27, at the initiative of "The United Armenian Students"
organization, the youth of California began a march that was to
stretch for 3000 miles. The procession was entitled "For the Sake
of Humanity" and lasted for already 3,5 months. The initiative is
aimed to inform the people about the crimes committed against the
humanity and make the government settle the issue. The young people
are carrying posters that condemn the genocides. They hope to reach
from Los Angeles to Washington in November. They expect to meet with
the US Government there.

In the information rendered to "Azg," the organizers of the procession
state that in the course of the procession they meet with congressmen
and senators, hold various arrangements and political meetings
dedicated to not only the Armenian genocide but also about all of
the crimes committed against the genocide. The initiators of the
arrangement aim to achieve the state recognition of these crimes.

Another important goal of the program is to show the undeniable
connection between the genocides to the American society and
its government. The students from a number of California based
universities, collages and educational institutions participate in the
procession. They believe that recognition of genocides will help avert
new crimes. Albrik Zohrabian, who has taken photos of the procession,
said this in the telephone conversation with "Azg."
