LOS ANGELES — Hundreds of people gathered outside the Turkish Consulate in Beverly Hills on Sunday to demand the Turkish government recognize the Armenian genocide and end its support of Azerbaijan in the Artsakh.
The rally organized by the Armenian Youth Federation was one of several held across the Southland to mark the 107th anniversary of the massacre. Los Angeles County is home to the largest population of Armenians in the United States.
Speakers at the protest honored the victims of the genocide and the strength of its survivors, told of Armenia's rich history and culture, and called for Turkey to finally acknowledge the loss and trauma it inflicted upon the Armenian people.
