CT The Armenian genocide. The Turkish government denies it ever happened. I when part of Armenia was ruled by the Turkish Ottoman Empire. Armenians and the U.S. ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, Henry Morgenthau, said the killings were organized by the Turkish government.
Today marks the commemoration of one of the great tragedies of history. . . .
This year marked the first time that the United Armenian Students, a group from universities throughout Southern California, organized the event. The rejuvenated march was the largest in recent memory. For most of the march, Agakhanyan was at the front, exhorting her fellow Armenians to never forget and never again allow genocide. A student spokeswoman said the T-shirts printed for the event speak for their primary goal. We're not just against genocide against Armenians, but genocide against any people in the world.
