More than 1,500 Armenians in California held a demonstration Thursday afternoon urging the President Obama to keep his campaign promise and recognize the Armenian Genocide.
According to Asbarez.com, the Armenian community members gathered at the Sony Picture Studios, chanting loudly “Obama, Keep Your Promise.”
Barack Obama is currently on a fundraising trip to Los Angeles.
When addressing the crowd that gathered in front of the studio gates, System of A Down frontman and human rights activist Serj Tankian urged protesters to face the gate and by raising their right fist continuously repeat “As President, I will recognize the Genocide,” a familiar campaign promise made by then candidate Obama during the 2008 presidential race.
