    Looking Ahead: Ongoing stories may crest in 2015

    Changes to the political landscape, Sagebrush negotiations and
    remembering the Armenian Genocide will likely make headlines this
    year.

    Armenian Genocide

    The 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide will be commemorated on
    April 24, and memorials and vigils are planned throughout the
    Southland to remember the 1.5 million Armenians who lost their lives.

    Locally, the city of Glendale will hold its annual commemoration event
    -- in collaboration with the Armenian Genocide Centennial Committee.
    The event, featuring guest speakers, is still being planned and could
    take place indoors or outdoors, possibly at the desired location for a
    proposed genocide museum and memorial.

    In November, the Glendale City Council gave the committee permission
    to look into the feasibility of constructing such a project on a
    parking lot next to the Glendale Civic Auditorium.

    Recently, the committee began looking for an architect to design the museum.

    Talin Yacoubian, committee co-chair, said it's possible the
    commemoration event could be held in conjunction with a groundbreaking
    for the memorial monument.
