ARMENIANS COMMEMORATE GENOCIDE VICTIMS
Support A1+!Every year on April 24 the whole Armenian nation remember and honour those killed in the 1915 genocide plotted by the then Turkish government for elimination of ethnic Armenians. One and a half million people have been slain and thousands fled their homes. So far that horrible crime against humanity isn’t condemned by international community in due way, though European Union, Russia, France and other European countries as well as a number of the USA states have recognised the fact of the genocide. Turkey keeps denying historical reality.
From early morning, thousands of people are moving to Yerevan’s Genocide Memorial to leave floral tribute to the genocide victims. Armenia’s top officials leaded by president Kocharyan have already visited the memorial today. Armenian Apostolic Church leadership headed by Catholicos Garegin II visited the site as well.
