US-Armenians hold White House protest urging Obama to recognize Genocide

Armenian-Americans from across the Greater Washington, DC area rallied in front of the White House just days before President Obama’s annual April 24th remarks, urging him to honor his pledge to properly characterize the murder of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Turkish Government as ‘genocide.’

The protest was organized by the Armenian Youth Federation “Ani” Chapter, in coordination with a coalition of Armenian American groups comprising the Armenian Genocide Commemorative Committee of Greater Washington.
