    GLENDALE--The Armenian Genocide United Commemoration Committee
    announced that on Friday, April 24 a multi-denominational Mass will
    be held at the Montebello Martyrs' monument at 10:30 a.m.

    The Mass will be followed by a political rally and commemorative
    program during which a number of public officials representing local,
    county, state and federal governments will address the audience,
    said an announcement issued Friday by the organizing committee.

    After the political rally, a requiem service will take place at the
    monument under the direction of the clerical leaders of the three
    Armenian Christian denominations.

    During both the Mass and the political rally, the public may place
    flowers at the monument, the organizers said.

    Additional information about this year's Armenian Genocide
    commemoration will be provided in the coming days.

    The committee appealed to the public to attend the event in large
    numbers.

    "It is of the utmost importance that California's Armenian community
    clearly articulates its just demands upon the international community
    of nations, all the while increasing pressure upon Turkey to recognize
    the Armenian Genocide," said the announcement.
