The Armenian Youth Federation - Western Region will be holding its
annual protest demanding justice for the Armenian Genocide in front
of the Turkish Consulate in Los Angeles on Wednesday, April 24th,
the organization's press service reports.
The protest will include community activists and civic leaders across
the state coming together to publicly condemn the Republic of Turkey
for its continued perpetuation of a campaign resulting in the death of
over 1.5 million Armenians. The participants will gather in front of
the office of the Turkish Consul General at 6300 Wilshire Blvd. from
4 to 6 p.m. to honor the victims of the Armenian Genocide and demand
justice from the Republic of Turkey.
"Although April 24 is a sad day in history, it has a redeeming quality
to it," said Nina Amirian, one of the organizers of the event. "This
day in History brings all Armenians together around the world to
unite for this common cause."
The Armenian Youth Federation calls on the community and all concerned
citizens to join the protest on April 24. The organization is providing
free buses which will depart Tuesday at 2 PM from various locations
throughout the greater Los Angeles area, including the Pasadena
Armenian Center, St. Mary's Church in Glendale, Ferrahian Armenian
School in Encino, and Pilibos Armenian School in Hollywood.
The protest is the culmination of a number of commemoration events
organized by the AYF to mark the anniversary of the Genocide. A
few such noteworthy events include a candlelight vigil at city hall
hosted by the Burbank "Varak" Chapter, a Genocide Museum organized
by the South Bay "Potorig" Chapter, and the "Cycle Against Denial"
bike ride hosted by the Valley "Sardarabad" Chapter on April 14.
The protest is a symbolic focal point for the community and represents
the AYF's year-long struggle to gain proper recognition and restitution
for the crime of genocide perpetrated by the Turkish government.
Founded in 1933, the Armenian Youth Federation (AYF) is the largest and
most influential Armenian American youth organization. With chapters
throughout the United States and affiliated organizations around the
world, the AYF actively strives to advance the social, political,
educational and cultural awareness of all Armenian youth.
