March 7 some 250 American Armenians organized a meeting in Los Angeles in front of the Israeli Consulate. They protested against the recent statements made by Israeli Ambassador to Armenia Rivka Kohen that the events in Ottoman Turkey in 1915 could not be called genocide. US information sources report the meeting was held in a calm and peaceful atmosphere. At the end of the meeting a special delegation of the participators of the meeting handed its petition to the officers of the Israeli Consulate, as well as a documentary book devoted to the Armenian Genocide in Turkey.
