Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Plan to Send a Letter to Trump to Recognize the Armenian Genocide
CNN.com
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors added its voice Tuesday to those calling on the White House to recognize the Armenian genocide, mynewsla.com reports.
Supervisor Kathryn Barger recommended sending a letter to President Donald Trump.
"Now is the time to put our words into action. We need our national leaders to call what happened between 1915 and 1923 what it is, a genocide," Barger said.
She noted that Trump, like past presidents, stopped short of that designation, referring instead to "one of the worst mass atrocities of the 20th century" when mourning the killings of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians.
