LOS ANGELES - Several thousand members of Southern California's
Armenian community marched through Los Angeles on Tuesday to remember
the deaths of 1.5 million Armenians in the former Ottoman Empire.
The annual march at midday was to be followed by an afternoon protest
in front of the Turkish Consulate.
Armenians and most historians say the killings that began in 1915
were a genocide, but Turkey rejects that term. Turkish leaders say
that the figures are inflated and that there were deaths on both
sides as the Ottoman Empire collapsed.
