    ISTANBUL, APRIL 26, NOYAN TAPAN-ARMENIANS TODAY. As every year this
    year was not exclusion April 24 was commemorated in the different
    parts of the world. This year was somewhat different because April
    24was commemorated for the first time in Turkey. A group of Turkish
    intellectuals expressed their sadness over the sufferings that occurred
    almost a century ago.

    Protests took place in Taksim Square, at the Haydarpasa Train Station
    and in front of the Turkish-Armenian Agos weekly on 24 April.

    According to www.todayszaman.com, a group of public figures including
    professors, editors, journalists, deputies and artists were present
    at a sit-down strike held in Taksim Square. They called all Turkish
    citizens who feel this huge pain in their hearts to bow respectfully
    before the victims of the memories of 1915.
