Today, despite the cold weather, a memorial was set placed in the Twin Falls city park, to mark the Armenian genocide.

About two dozen Armenian refugees and their families showed up.
A tree and a small stone make up the memorial.

Spearhead of the project Liyah Babayan, says it was time for Twin Falls to get a memorial.

Organizers say April marks the actual day of remembrance of the genocide. There are plans for a special recognition next year.
