Obama Thumbs Nose at Armenians, Refuses to visit Genocide Memorial while in LA

Another day, another promise broken.  President Obama has refused to visit the Montebello Armenian Martyrs’ Monument in Los Angeles, even though he was there that day and despite being asked by prominent Armenians to do so.

Apparently the President of the United States was too busy to acknowledge 1,000,000 Armenians killed in a brutal genocide.

Armenian National Committee of America-Western Region Board chairman, Andrew Kzirian said that ANCA had sent a letter to Obama asking him to lay a wreath at the Montebello Armenian Martyrs’ Monument during his Los Angeles-area visit. 

Addressing the protestors during a demonstration in Los Angeles Kzirian explained that the ANCA-WR received a form letter back from the White House claiming a conflict in the president schedule, Asbarez reports. 

“As President Obama embarks on his re-election campaign, the Armenian American community and anti-genocide activists of conscience are still waiting for him to demonstrate Presidential leadership to fulfill his 2008 promise by reaffirming the Armenian Genocide during his annual proclamation,” stated Kzirian. 

“Coming to California, home to nearly a million descendants of the survivors of this Genocide, the president could have taken a strong step in that direction by visiting the Armenian Genocide Martyr’s Memorial in Montebello,” he added.

In the President's defense, he probably has no idea what "an Armenian" is and that they went through a genocide during and after the First World War.
