GLENDALE, APRIL 4, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian Youth Federation will
host its second "One Voice, One Cause" rally on April 15, uniting
the community in commemoration of the Armenian Genocide through
music and expression, reports Armenpress citing Asbarez. "We feel
that the month of April should not only be a month to commemorate
the 1.5 million victims of the Armenian Genocide but also a month to
celebrate the fact that we are still here and we are still fighting
for our people and our nation", says Sevag Tchekidjian, AYF Glendale
"Roupen" Chapter Executive Member. "Our existence today, shows that
Turkey has indeed failed and continues to fail."
The Armenian Genocide, recognized as the first genocide of the 20th
century by historians the world over, resulted in the death of an
estimated 1.5 million Armenians and the loss of millions of dollars
in property and land now under occupation by the Republic of Turkey.
The event seeks to rally the Armenian community of Greater Los
Angeles in celebration of life with performances by Element Band,
Armenian Public Radio, Palm of Granite and more. This event will
bring the Armenian community together to show we are indeed united
and continue to celebrate the existence of our rich culture.
