The visit came in the wake of Nagorno-Karabakh’s collapse, with tensions extending far outside of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
It was held at USC’s Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism, where the perimeter was monitored and blockaded by the LAPD and USC’s Department of Public Safety during Mercan’s visit. A few protesters slammed their hands on the doors of the school and distributed papers accusing the ambassador of supporting the “murder of Armenian children.”The history between Turkey and Armenians is fraught.
Karapetian called Armenians an integral part of L.A., which has the largest Armenian populations outside Armenia, more than 200,000 people. USC has at least 1,000 Armenian students and faculty, according to the USC Armenian Student Association."There are buildings named after Armenian donors, named after Armenian faculty, deans and so on,” Karapetian said.
