UYA Experiences for All

Even though UYA is a movement of young Armenians, it caters it's services to a wide range of audiences.

Annual March on April 24th for Recognition of the Armenian Genocide and Prevention of Future Genocide

Our annual march for the Recognition of the Armenian Genocide and prevention of other genocides such as the Genocide in Darfur, has not only attracted a wide range of participants from various age groups, but has also united the community's various forces, factions, and groups under the Armenian banner.

Annual Sumgait Massacres Protest on February 27th at the Azerbaijani Consulate

The Azerbaijani regime carried on the legacy of the Ottoman Empire when in 1988 and 1990 hundreds of Armenians were brutally killed and hundreds of thousands were forced to flee their homes and became displaced rafugees. Each February 27th, UYA holds protests at the Azerbaijani Consulate and at major media outlets to remind the world of the murderous campaigns in Azerbaijan.

Glendale City Council Elections Forums

We promote civic participation within the communities in which we live in. In February 2009, we organized the first ever bilingual Armenian-English Glendale City Council Forum.

Armenian-Turkish Protocols

When the news of the Armenian-Turkish Protocols surprised the world, the Unified Young Armenains responded by organizing the first televised debate on the matter. Apart from the Armenian Consul General in Los Angeles, and the representative of the AGBU, every major organization and group had sent a representative to the teleconference whcih gave the Armenian public, as well as the non-Armenians in the community the opportunity learn about the protocols.
