The Armenians of San Francisco marched across the Golden Gate Bridge Saturday to commemorate the 100 year mark of the Armenian Genocide, San Francisco Examiner reported.
Approximately 1,000 local Armenians gathered for the event.
“We march today, not just for the victims of the Armenian Genocide, but for the victims of all genocides. Only by recognizing and accepting that these genocides occurred, can the wounds of humanity begin to heal,” said Armenian-American community activist Alex Bastian.
