The L.A. County Democratic Party recently passed a resolution to ask the California Democratic Party to endorse efforts to educate its members about the Armenian Genocide and reject efforts to deny the crime.
The resolution was authored by the Southern California Armenian Democrats, which has many local members. It received widespread support on its way to the county party’s executive committee.
The vote came on the eve of the 97th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, in which 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks.
