Armenia

I went to lunch with my friend today and we went our favorite place.

While we were there, there was a table of Armenian men. (I hate to stereotype, but I assume that they were Armenian, they certainly looked like it. I mean, they could have been Vietnamese but I highly doubt it.)
....to further the stereotype of the Armenian, the car outside in the parking lot with the flag on top of the car were all Mercedes, Porche', or higher class of car. $$$
I had seen the flags earlier, and I saw one that said, "Remember the Armenian Genocide" so I pretty much figured out what was in observance.
My fabulous friend sent me this e-mail later in the day:

Today is an anniversary of the Armenian Genocide committed by the Turks. Remember your geography that "Armenia" is located to the north of Turkey. The massacre began in about 1915 and ran to 1923. About 1 and 1 1/2 million were slaughtered. Today there were 2 to 3,0000 demonstrators down on Wilshire in front of the Turkish Embassy demonstrating and demanding that Turkey admit the genocide. These guys are still fighting this war and I kid you not.

Actually, that's exactly what I wanted. A suitably named site www.april24.info helped me find out more.
