    YOUNG ARMENIANS RALLY BEFORE TURKISH EMBASSY IN WASHINGTON


    More than 50 young activists joined the protest action before
    the Turkish embassy in Washington organized by the Youth Union of
    Armenian Revolutionary Party. The embassy was hosting the Assembly of
    Turkish-American Associations (ATAA) known for the policy of denying
    the Armenian Genocide.

    Representatives of Livingston Group, organization hired by Turkey
    to carry out anti-Armenian lobby in the US, former congressman Bob
    Livingston and US State Undersecretary Mark Grossman, were received
    by Turkish ambassador Faruk Loghloghlu.

    Young Armenians were crying out "Shame on Turkey", "Turkey - Convicted
    of Genocide", "NO to Turkey's Accession to EU". "We rallied here to
    show the Turkish government and its mouthpieces in the States that we
    shall never forget the massacres of the Armenians in 1915-1923. We'll
    not stop till the Armenian Genocide is recognized and the historic
    justice prevails", Tsoghik Markosian, head of the Youth Union, said.
