YEREVAN (YERKIR) – On the eve of April 24th, ArmeniaDiaspora and
Armenica encourage to `Light the Night’ by lighting a candle through
the night of the 23rd and into the morning of the 24th, in remembrance
of the 1.5 million souls that fell victim to the annihilation machine
of the Ottoman Empire.

`Each lit candle placed on the window sill will represent a soul lost
throughout the years of 1915 and 1923. Together, let’s `Light the
Night’, let’s vow to remember, to never forget, and to pursue justice
and peace for all humanity.

The Light the Night campaign started two years ago in connection to
the 90th remembrance day of the Armenian Genocide and we wish to
continue this campaign hoping that it will be a permanent tradition.

Last year the campaign received wide TV and radio coverage in Armenia
and this year Printinfo has volunteered to contribute to the campaign
by printing flyers free of charge for distribution within Armenia. We
hope that you also could join us in this tradition,’ says the
statement issued by the organizations.
