Armenian Genocide 100th Anniversary Protest March - Los Angeles

Ethnic Armenians worldwide marked the 100th anniversary of a genocide at the hands of Ottoman Turks that claimed the lives of about 1.2 million Armenians from 1915 to 1918. The Turkish government continues to dispute that a genocide happened, and Armenian Americans are frustrated that President Obama did not use the word “genocide“ this week to refer to the massacre. More than 130,000 commemorated the centennial in Los Angeles with a march on Friday.
