Japanese victims to be commemorated on April 24

The International Cultural Bank, in collaboration with the Armenian Genocide Institute Museum, is launching a commemorative campaign to aid the Japanese people.

The initiative titled “Recalling our Grief, Realizing the Others’ ” proposes paying hommage to those who died in Japan’s disastrous earthquake and tsunami earlier this year.

At a news conference on Friday, President of the International Cultural Bank Karapet Zakoyan and programs manager Levon Iranyan introduced the joint project.
