As every year, this year, on April 24, 2010, the Armenian Community, as well as the justice
loving people of Southern California will come together and march in Little Armenia, Hollywood.
Unified Young Armenians are proud to announce that his year, as in the past, we will remain
true to our community's decade long tradition and will protest against denial in the heart of
Hollywood. We will fight to ensure the success of this event against any opposition by various
forces. The event will take place on the cross streets of Hollywood and Hobart, and will end
with the ceremony which takes place in the Hobart Ave.
What is different about the annual March in Little Armenia, Hollywood? It is extremely unique
because belonging to a certain faction does not matter. Young and old, rich and poor, political
and apolitical, march on the streets in the greatest show of national unity in the Diaspora.
We would like to thank City of Los Angeles, its residents, and especially Council Member Eric
Garcetti for supporting this quest for justice. Because of their collective help and support,
Little Armenia has become the premier home to the Armenian Genocide remembrance. We are also
indebted to the great men and women of the Los Angeles Police, Fire, and Street Services
departments who have provided the event with the logistical support which has enabled us to
have an effective ad peaceful event.
This year, we would like to welcome Council Member Paul Krekorian's election as the newest
member of the Los Angeles City Council and as the first Armenian-American serving in this very
important capacity.
This year we will once again march for justice and protest against the denial of the Armenian
Genocide. We call on every justice seeking individual to join us this April 24th and by doing
so put an end to the denial which has persisted for 95 years.
