DESCRIPTION:On April 24th, 1915, the Ottomans arrested 250 Armenian intellectuals and 
 community leaders and brutally executed them. That marked the beginning of 
 a systematic campaign to eliminate the Armenian population of the Ottoman 
 Empire. Armenians were rounded up, their possessions taken away and marched 
 to their deaths into the Syrian and Iraqi deserts. Those who were not 
 abducted, raped, mutilated, died of disease and starvation. Very few 
 survived.\n\nBy the time Mustafa Kemal, the father of modern Turkey, 
 finished the job by burning the city of Smyrna, half of the Armenian 
 population of the world had vanished.\n\nRafael Lempkin coined the term 
 "Genocide" because of the "Armenian atrocities".\n\nA GENOCIDE DENIED IS A 
 GENOCIDE REPEATED! \nModern Turkey and ISIS do today what the Ottomans did 
 a hundred years ago. The cycle of Genocide can end only by acknowledgement. 
 \n\nOn April 24th, the lights of the San Francisco city Hall will reflect 
 the colors of the Armenian flag. Join us in front of the city hall on Van 
 Ness to commemorate the Genocide and demand recognition and 
 justice.\n\nPlease note that this is a duplicate event, the original event
