Armenian Americans to rally at Turkish Consulate, LA

Thousands across California will gather at the Turkish Consulate in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 24, at 4pm to demonstrate for an end to Turkey's 95 year campaign of genocide denial and the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the United States.

Organized by the Armenian Youth Federation, this year’s protest will come on the 95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and will converge with global expectations on both the U.S. House of Representatives and President Barack Obama to finally hold Turkey accountable for its crimes against the Armenian people.

Armenian Americans will protest against Turkey's effort to impose a gag-rule on the United States and show once again the resolve of the Armenian people in their struggle for justice, recognition and reparations.
