Stain of Denial

Armenian Students' of UCLA Association

Students in the Armenian Students’ Association at UCLA participated in a silent protest on Bruin Walk Friday to protest denial of the Armenian Genocide by some countries.The Armenian Students' Association is holding a silent protest at Meyerhoff Park (alongsie Bruinwalk) on Friday, January 31st.

Their mouths covered with bands of bright orange tape, about 15 students stood in a straight line in front of Kerckhoff Hall to protest and educate students about the Armenian Genocide.

The Armenian Students’ Association at UCLA organized the silent protest, which occurred from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The event was part of a movement organized by the All-Amernian Students Association called “Stain of Denial.” Armenian students’ associations from several campuses across California protested the Armenian Genocide and its denial by countries such as the United States on the same day.

Our objective is to raise awareness of the Armenian Genocide and its continuous denial. We want to engage the campus community in our history and encourage them to take action.
