The Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) has called for a “universal condemnation” of the hate crimes that were committed at two Armenian schools in Los Angeles.

“We urge a swift investigation and that the perpetrators are prosecuted and punished,” the respective Assembly statement reads, in part. “We appreciate the Members of [US] Congress that have stood in solidarity with the Armenian American community.”

As reported earlier, Turkish flags were hung at the fences and premises of AGBU Manoogian-Demirdjian School and Holy Martyrs Ferrahian High School in Los Angeles.
