Worcester commemorates Armenian Genocide
(NECN: Kenneth Craig, Worcester, Mass.) - Worcester's Armenian
community is gathering together this weekend to mark what they call a
horrific Holocaust. The deaths of more than a million Armenians.
While the genocide is not officially recognized by the United States,
those who had loved ones who lived through it say they will never
forget.
According to the Armenian Church, 94 years ago the Turkish Government
killed over a million Armenians, trying to stop them from creating
their own state. Most of the people who did survive that Holocaust are
no longer alive, but for their family their spirit still is.
