The Los Angeles streets intersection of Hollywood and Western will be named the "Armenian Genocide Memorial Square" on April 24. The initiative belongs to the member of the council Mitch O'Farrell who was joined by Paul Krekorian.
According to the authors of the initiative, the aim of the step is not only to honor the memory of the victims but also to inform thousands of people about the historical fact.
"The heart of Little Armenia, which will be named "Armenian Genocide Memorial Square", will be a reminder for the crime against humanity and the demand of its recognition" said Mitch O'Farrell.
