GLENDALE - Glendale police are asking for the public's help to find whoever is responsible for spray-painting a Turkish flag on the wall of an Armenian church.
The incident was reported at 1:30 p.m. Monday at St. Peter's Armenian Church, 632 W. Stocker St.
Once there, police spotted a star and a crescent moon - symbols on the Turkish flag - painted in red on the west block wall of the church near a sidewalk.
Turkey is the target of anger among many Armenians who are fighting to get that country to officially recognize the killings during World War I of as many as one-and-a-half million Armenians as a genocide.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Glendale Police Department at 818-548-4840 or Crime Stoppers at 818-507-STOP.
