About 1000 Armenian-Americans marched across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, U.S., last week to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, The San Francisco Examiner reported.

The march was led by the leaders of the local Armenian community.

"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.

The Bay Area is home to approximately 30,000 Americans of Armenian descent.
