Bay Area Armenians Recall ‘Forgotten Genocide’

ABC7
Apr. 25 (ABC7) – The Bay Area’s Armenian community is bringing
attention to a very dark period in history.

Hundreds gathered on Mount Davidson in San Francisco Sunday for the
90th anniversary of what’s often called the forgotten genocide. From
1915 to 1923, as many as a million-and-a-half Armenians were killed
by the Ottoman Turks.

California has the largest Armenian-American population in the
country.

State Senator Jackie Speier introduced a resolution making April 24
the official day of remembrance of the Armenian genocide.
