April 24th Protest at Turkish Consulate: For over two decades, the AYF has organized an annual protest in front of the Turkish Consulate in Los Angeles on April 24th, the international day of commemoration for the 1.5 million victims of the Armenian Genocide. With thousands of participants, the majority of whom are youth, the protest is the largest and longest-running Armenian Genocide recognition assembly comprised of young Armenians in the United States. It also attracts large-scale media coverage from major television and print news outlets throughout the country. The demonstration 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. --------------------------- [POSTED UNDER FAIR USE MEDIA REPORTING] FAIR USE NOTICE: We are making this material available in our efforts to advance understanding of environmental, political, human rights, economic, democracy, scientific, and social justice issues, etc. We believe this constitutes a "fair use" of any such copyrighted material as provided for in section 107 of the US Copyright Law.
