Los Angeles: Youth Initiate Hunger Strike Against Turkey-Armenia Protocols
Over a dozen Armenian youth have decided to initiate a hunger strike in front of the Armenian Consulate of Los Angeles in protest over the proposed signing of Protocols between Armenia and Turkey. The "Hunger Strike Against the Protocols" will begin with an opening night candle light vigil to be attended by community leaders, clergy, supporters, and Armenian youth.

The 'Stop the Protocols' campaign is made up of the ARF Shant Student Association, Unified Young Armenians, Armenian Youth Federation, UCLA Armenian Students' Association, and Woodbury Armenian Student Association.
