"There are currently more than 200,000 Armenians living in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, and the city of Glendale - with a population that is roughly 30% Armenian - is its beating heart." - BBC

Artsakh, which is a contested republic between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

(Azerbaijan refers to the same region as 'Karabakh')

Cool but if I lived on Maryland Ave and they told me it was now Artsakh Ave, I’d be like “Wait, what? How do you spell that? Aw man, every time I’m on the phone with customer service I’ll have to be all “A as in apple, R as in red, T as in Texas ...” because nobody will know how to spell that.”

Nice gesture. I believe that eventually, Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh will be recognized as truly Armenian territory.

Los Angeles: 'Artsakh Avenue' named in honor of Glendale's Armenian Community

California honored Armenians before honoring Armenians was cool:

On the legacy of George Deukmejian and what governance used to mean

How many millions did this cost taxpayers?

30%? Last I heard Glendale was more like 60% Armenian.

Armenia, My Love .

I know some have seen this movie at youtube. It is worth a watch and at the end, they do show some of the Armenians living in California. I would urge all to check it out.

Armenians were a great addition to Southern California. Great people great Christians, great food. But we don't need to be renaming streets to honor Armenian things any more than we need another MLK or Cesar Chavez Blvd. I guess I'd rather have Artsakh Ave and kebabs than no Artsakh Ave and no kebabs.
