The Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved a motion that will designate the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Western Avenue as Armenian Genocide Memorial Square, reported Asbarez.

As reported earlier, Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell had introduced this motion.

“This memorial square will honor the 1.5 million Armenians that perished, and the hundreds of thousands more that were permanently displaced, while serving as a daily reminder of what happened 100 years ago,” said O’Farrell.
