United States Garo Madenlian Public Affairs Office announced, that on
Saturday April 23rd the AYF will organize a large-scale protest in
front of the Turkish Consulate in Los Angeles. "Our protest will
demand justice from the Turkish government," said Marie Minassian,
Director of the 2004 Protest. "For 90 years the Turkish Government has
cowardly avoided responsibility for the Genocide," explained

years, is where thousands of Armenian-Americans, particularly Armenian
youth converge to demand justice for the Armenian Genocide. "The
Armenian Genocide is not debatable, it is a historical fact," said
Shant Baboujian, chairman of the AYF Western Region. "This year marks
the 90th anniversary of the genocide and with each passing year we
grow bolder and more adamant in our demands for its proper
recognition, for the return of our lands in Western Armenia, and for
the proper allocation of reparations to the Armenians," explained
Baboujian.
