/PanARMENIAN.Net/ November 3, a historic consecration of a Khatchkar
will take place in Cardiff, Wales.

distinguished itself by being the first country within the UK to
recognize the Armenian Genocide at both national and regional levels.
This is the first time a plot of land has been allocated in a public
area within the UK for a memorial to the victims of the Armenian
Genocide.
The monument will be unveiled by the Presiding Officer of the National
Assembly, Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas and the Armenian Ambassador, Dr Vahe
Gabrielyan.
The stone is Welsh, the design is Armenian, the stonemason is Welsh
and the inscription is by the hand of a Bishop of the Armenian
Apostolic Church.
The commemorative words are in Welsh, Armenian and English.
