L.A. Armenians at Rally Back Annexation Move
Four thousand American-Armenians rallying Sunday in Los Angeles called on Soviet officials to quell civil unrest and allow Soviet Armenia to annex a disputed region.

The rally was timed to come before the Soviet Union’s nationwide Communist Party conference.
