“[We] continue to witness the efforts by hate groups today which continue to promote the atrocious act of genocide right here in the city of Glendale, home to one of the largest Armenian communities in the United States,” Kassakhian said in a statement. Kassakhian contended that those responsible for posting the signs were “undoubtedly emboldened” by Turkey’s continued denial of the Armenian genocide and by the blockade in Azerbaijan.
