BRATISLAVA, APRIL 25, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Members of the
Armenian community of Slovakia and a group of Armenians from Vienna on
April 24 laid wreaths at the Armenian khachkar-memorial monument in
downtown Bratislava. NT correspondent reported from Bratislava that
Ashot Grigorian, Chairman of the Armenian community of Slovakia and
the Representation of Europe’s Armenian Organizations, made a short
speech at the monument.

To recap, the khachkar-monument was erected as token of the Armenian
people’s gratitude for adoption of the Armenian Genocide-condemning
resolution by the National Assembly of Slovakia in 2004. The resolution
not only condemns the genocide organized by Turkey but also demands
that the European Union assert the fact of the Armenian Genocide,
while Turkey ratify it.
