The mayor Eric Garcetti and politician of Armenian descent Paul Krekorian planted the first pomegranate tree in the park in front of the Los Angeles town hall.
A hundred trees will be planted in the city in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. They invited Armenian and American figures to declare that the American mega polis shares the pain of the Armenians and joins the goal to inform the world about it.
As a continuation of the information campaign picture about the Armenian Genocide will be portrayed on the civil transport of Los Angeles which won the previously announced contest. And the town hall will be lighted with the forget-me-not color till the next week.
