LOS ANGELES – Tuesday, protests and memories marked the the 97th
anniversary of the beginning of the Armenian Genocide, and in Glendale,
the face of that commemoration…was a 12 year old girl.

The Turkish government disputes the claims of an Armenian genocide.
They say the claim that one and a half million Armenians were killed
is inaccurate…pointing out there were far fewer than one point five
million Armenians living in the ottoman empire in 1915.
They also point out that two point five million Muslims were killed in
the period between 1912 and 1922, as well as many Christians and Jews.
Finally, turkey claims there is no direct evidence that any ottoman
leader ordered the destruction of the Armenians…and it was, in fact,
the Armenians who waged war against their own government.
…and so the argument goes on.
