YEREVAN -- Armeniangenocide100.org official website of Armenian
Genocide Centennial was launched on January 30 in Yerevan.
Harutyun Berberian, author of the site, said the site will contain
information on events, foreign articles and video materials.
Vigen Sargsian, Chief of Staff of the President of Armenia,
Coordinator of the Events Dedicated to the Armenian Genocide
Centennial, said the goal of the website is to educate rather than to
collect database.
"We expect schoolchildren and students to be actively involved in this
project," Sargsian said.
During a press conference Sargsian also unveiled the program of events
designed to commemorate the centenary of the Armenian genocide.
He said an international media forum entitled 'At the Foothill of
Mount Ararat' for journalists from CIS and other countries is
scheduled for April 18-20. They will arrive to cover the commemoration
that will run April 22-24.
On April 22-23 Yerevan will host an international conference entitled
'Against Genocidal Crimes' with participation of executive and
legislative authorities and religious leaders from many countries.
On April 23 a special ceremony will be conducted by the Armenian
Apostolic Church in Etchmiadizn to sanctify 1.5 million Armenians
killed by the government of Turkey in 1915-1923. On the same day the
famous System of a Down music group will perform a concert under the
motto 'Wake up the Souls.'
A torchlight march to Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial is scheduled
for April 23 evening. The genocide victims remembrance ceremony will
be held on April 24 morning. In the evening a concert of classical
music will be held featuring musicians from the countries which
officially recognized the Armenian genocide.
