LOS ANGELES (AP) — Thousands of people are marching in Hollywood to
mark the deaths of 1.5 million Armenians in the former Ottoman Empire.

Los Angeles police said Thursday there were no arrests or citations
during the march.

The demonstration was organized by the Armenian Youth Federation
as part of annual remembrances of the killings of Armenians in the
Turkish territories during World War I.

Armenians and others refer to the killings as genocide while Turkey
contends there was no organized slaughter and the deaths occurred
during the chaos of a civil conflict.
