YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 26, NOYAN TAPAN. A propaganda campaign was organized
to the Tsitsernakaberd Complex to the Armenian Genocide Victims on
September 25 on the initiative of Dream for Darfur international
organization. The main purpose of the campaign is to condemn the
Darfur crisis situation and draw the attention of the international
community to this problem. The international procession started
on August 8 from the border of Darfur and Chad and will finish in

countries whose history contains cruel pages of genocide.
The participants of the international procession stated that China as

in settlement of the Darfur crisis. Taking this fact into account,
the procession participants light the symbolic Olympic torch from
the eternal fire to memory of the genocide victims in each of these
countries.
The ceremony dedicated to memory of the Genocide victims was attended
by Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II, the Archbishop of Canterbury
