For most people April 24th is just another day, not very different from any other, but for various Armenian communities around the world, including the large community of Armenians living in the greater Los Angeles area, it is a day of remembrance of their 1.5 million countrymen who were victims of brutal mass murders during World War I. Armenia is a nation that has had its hills painted with the blood of its people for thousands of years. Yet, though its song and dance have helped it overcome its horrific past, the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Turkish Ottoman Empire is a page of its past that just simply cannot be turned with ease.

More than any other nation, Israel has the moral obligation to recognize the Armenian Genocide! Now more than ever is the time for Israel to say - “We recognize.

How long can we look away, pretend, resist, and play politics? If nothing else, by now we should have learned one thing really well; unless we act, history will repeat itself.

No noteworthy events to report of on this day.
 If nations are allowed to commit genocide with impunity, to hide their guilt in a camouflage of lies and denials, there is a real danger that other brutal regimes will be encouraged to attempt genocides. Unless we speak today of the Armenian genocide and unless the Government recognizes this historical fact, we shall leave this century of unprecedented genocides with this blot on our consciences. - Caroline, Baroness Cox, House of Lords
