Rally marks genocide date
As a lawyer, Richard Sarajian’s job is to fight for justice.
Tomorrow, his fight will be personal.
Sarajian, an Armenian from Chestnut Ridge, formerly of Monroe,
will attend a rally outside Times Square with thousands of Armenians
in hopes that the world will recognize a mass killing by the Turkish
Army that occurred April 24, 1915.
Sarajian, chairman of the National Executive Council of the
Armenian Apostolic Church of America, will be going in memory of his
grandparents, three of whom survived the genocide.
Church services will be held in the city from 9 to 11 a.m. at St.
Vartan Cathedral Church, 2nd Avenue and 34th Street, and at St.
Illuminator’s Cathedral, 27th Street between 2nd and 3rd avenues.
