GLENDALE-The Armenian Genocide 95th Anniversary United Commemoration
Committee issued the following announcement on Monday.
This year, just like previous years, the Southern California Armenian
community will converge at the Montebello Martyrs Monument on Saturday,
April 24, and together will honor the memory of the 1.5 million victims
of the Armenian Genocide. There, in unison, the community will raise
it voice of protest and demand to the entire world and proclaim that
Turkey must acknowledge the Genocide that it committed and as such
must make land and monetary reparations to the Armenian people.

protest march will take place in Little Armenia, organized by the
Unified Young Armenians. And, on the same afternoon, at 4 p.m.,
a protest demonstration will take place at the Turkish Consulate in
Los Angeles, organized by the Armenian Youth Federation.
The Armenian Genocide 95th Anniversary United Commemoration Committee
is formed by the three political parties, the AGBU, the three
denominations and compatriotic unions.
In this truly united spirit we call on our people to be present at
all the events, especially the gathering at the Montebello Martyrs
Monument, where Armenian and non-Armenian political and public
officials will be present and where a Memorial Mass will be said in
memory of the victims.
As a sign of respect to our martyrs, we call on our community to
place flowers at the Monument.
