President Serzh Sarkisian will fly to Washington next week to take part in a religious ceremony to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide in Ottoman Turkey and possibly hold talks with senior U.S. officials.
An Armenian-American "steering committee" coordinating commemorations of the genocide centennial in the United States has announced Sarkisian's participation in an ecumenical memorial service that will take place at Washington's National Cathedral on May 7.
According to the committee, the service will be led by the two supreme heads of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Catholicos Garegin II and Catholicos Aram I, and attended by members of the U.S. Congress and U.S. diplomats.
