This weekend was the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in Turkey. The horrific events were marked by commemorations around the world.  My son and I joined the centennial observance in New York City.  It began at St. Vartan Armenian Cathedral on 34th Street.  Buses arrived in the morning from Armenian communities in the northeastern part of our country.  People filled the church and hundreds of family groups overflowed onto the sidewalks.
