YOUTH MARCHING TO TSITSERNAKABERD

Azg/arm
25 Nov 04

More than 3 thousand young people marched to Tsitsernakaberd
(memorial to the victims of the Armenian Genocide) yesterday marking
the launch of the lawsuit on murder of Armenian officer Gurgen
Margarian. Organizers of the march consider Gurgen Margarian a victim
of genocide and thatâ~@~Ys why they made their way to Tsitsernakaberd.

“The process of the trial should leave no Armenian
indifferent. Armenian officer became a victim of an unprecedented
slaughter only because of his nationality. Axe of the villain
instructed in Turkey was directed against every Armenian, against the
historic justice. Despite admitting all the meanness of the heinous
crime, Azerbaijan tries to justify the criminal”, an appeal of Gurgen
Margarian NGO reads.

President of the Writersâ~@~Y Union of Armenia Levon Ananian
underscored the importance of the program carried out by the youth:
“We are in a kind of a slumber today. Diplomacy does not respond
accordingly, society seems to be indifferent. But the march showed
that the youth understands that it is the bearer of national ideology
and national issues”. Levon Ananian also noted that the Genocide
of 1915 did not get an appropriate response ninety years ago and
today we try to draw worldâ~@~Ys attention to that fact. Today when
another act of vandalism was carried out in the center of Europe,
we have no right to waste time. “Time passes by but the Turksâ~@~Y
essence does not change, deep inside they are still vandals, cynics
and swindlers. Azerbaijan takes steps to protect the criminal. We
see here the same handwriting of Ottoman Turks”, Ananian said.

The multitude was composed mainly of students of Yerevanâ~@~Ys
universities. On their way to Tsitsernakaberd students stopped before
the embassies of Great Britain and the USA.
