Thousands of people gathered today outside the Yerevan headquarters of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaksutyun (ARF-D) for the traditional torch procession to the Genocide Memorial.
Before the start of the ceremony, a member of the ARF-D Bureau, Vahan Hovhannisyan, addressed the crowd, highlighting the importance of the event. He said the torch procession symbolizes the spirit and unanimity of the Armenian people, as well as the eternal struggle of the nation.
“We must learn how to communicate with the Turks on a peer-to-peer basis. We don’t need their false apologies; what we demand is real compensation,” Yerkir.am website quoted him as saying.
Hovhannisyan noted that by every year, the march attracts people from more and more cities and towns, including Moscow, Los-Angeles and Stepanakert, as well as 13 Armenian towns.
