Los Angeles, USA - For over half a century, every year on April 24th, Armenians around the world commemorate the mass killing of 1.5 million Armenians committed by the Ottoman Turkish government between 1915 and 1923. These systematic murders are considered to be the first genocide of the 20th century. 

The following is a series from an April 24th commemoration, which took place in front of the Turkish consulate in Los Angeles. Turkey, the successor state of the Ottoman Empire, has continuously denied the Genocide.
