The Armenian Youth Federation is organizing its annual protest in front
of the Turkish Consulate in Los Angeles today. Thousands of Armenian
Americans and Human rights Activists are expected to be actively
protesting their serious disappointment with the denialist policies
of the American and Turkish governments. In 2007, approximately 10,000
attended this event.
Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi shall appear at the protest to
address attendees.
The protest shall strive to raise awareness regarding the denialist
policies of the American and Turkish governments and how these policies
enable and embolden perpetrators of genocide to both commit and deny
this crime. The protest not only mourns the death of the 1.5 million
Armenians massacred from 1915-1923 but it also tries to educate others
about past and present genocides.
