Facing increasing backlash from Glendale’s Armenian community, the Americana at Brand will now allow an advertisement for a documentary about the Armenian Genocide to be displayed after initially rejecting it.

During a press conference at the Americana, committee chair Artin Manoukian announced that the mall will display the ad for “Architects of Denial” free of charge.
