Thousands of Armenians held an action on the Armenian Genocide Centennial in Times Square of New York on Sunday.
The protesters marched from St. Vartan church to Times Square to demand the U.S. government recognize the Armenian Genocide. The protesters were waving Armenian flags and were carrying posters urging Turkey to recognize the Genocide.
Senator Charles Schumer, several Jewish leaders as well as famous Turkish scholar Taner Akcam were among rally speakers, NBC New York reported.
“I stand with you in making sure the deniers are not given any place under the sun,” Senator Schumer said.
Taner Akcam added that it is very troubling to see that the United States had still not recognized the Armenian Genocide.
