Hundreds of people gathered outside the Turkish Consulate in Beverly Hills Sunday to demand their country recognize the Armenian Genocide of 1915.
"We need more than naming the genocide for what it is," Burushyan said. "We need action as well."
Demonstrators of all ages came to Beverly Hills Sunday afternoon, to voice their support for the cause. "We can see the new generation," said Setrak Aregean, one of the participants in Sunday's demonstration. "My son's four years old. This is [to] continue to show the world we are strong people." "We took the torch from the past generation," said Burushyan. "And now it's our turn to continue the struggle."
