LOS ANGELES-In keeping with efforts to remind President Obama of
his pledge to recognize the Armenian Genocide and to express the
community’s disappointment over his broken promises a demonstration
is scheduled for Wednesday, May 27 to coincide with his visit to
Beverly Hills.

The demonstration will take place from 3:00 to 6 p.m. at the Beverly
Hilton Hotel, 9876 Wilshire Boulevard Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

Join the Armenian Youth Federation and the "Shant" Student Association
in expressing the community’s profound disappointment in President
Obama for not keeping his campaign pledge to recognize the Armenian
Genocide.

"We are not here to label the President as a Genocide denier, but
rather to raise our voices and our concerns regarding his broken
promises," said Arek Santikian, a spokesperson for the AYF. "We also
want the president to realize how dissapointed the community is with
his ill-advised cut in foreign aid to Armenia."

"Obama has been a long time friend of the Armenian people, but his
recent actions are showing us that politics in Washington, DC are
more important to him than voicing his true convictions. This is
truly disappointing," Santikian added.
