LOS ANGELES””Mayor Eric Garcetti made a statement Thursday condemning an incident last week when an Armenian family received a threatening note after hanging an Armenian tri-color from their home.
“We will not tolerate crimes that are meant not only to inflict harm, but to instill fear. This week, as we remember the victims of the Armenian Genocide, we must also recognize ongoing prejudice against the Armenian community. Disturbing acts of hatred like that suffered by the Chatalyan family have no place in Los Angeles. In this city, we do not push people out, we come together. We must treat one another with love and respect, and reject any ideologies that try to divide us.”
