Armenian-Americans’ persistent admonishment of Pres. Obama to refrain from
substituting “Meds Yeghern” (Great Calamity) for the Armenian Genocide in
his annual April 24 statement, he has continued to do so for three years
in a row.

Thursday, April 21 at 3 p.m., all Armenian-Americans in Southern
California are urged to join in a public protest to be held
outside a fundraising event for President Barack H. Obama at the
Sony Studios located at 10202 W. Washington Boulevard in Culver
City, California.

should help an Armenian descendant living in Argentina learn the
fate of more than 50 of his relatives who disappeared nearly a
century ago.
