Gibrahayer
April 5, 2008

Gibrahayer April 5 – Nicosia – Like every year after their arrival
in Cyprus as Genocide survivors, the Armenian community of Cyprus
is preparing to commemorate the reason why they ended up in Cyprus
almost 90 years ago.

The highlight of the series of events in the capital – under the
auspices of the President of the House of Representatives Marios
Garoyian – is the political meeting featuring PASOK MP and former
Defence minister Akis Tzokatsopoulos on Wednesday April 23. The
following day on Thursday 24 April, the community will march along
Armenia street, leading up to the Genocide Memorial where a Vigil
will be held, while the Armenian youth will set up a big screen
on Eleftheria Square and will distribute informative leaflets to
passers-by.

On Thursday 17 April at 4:00 pm, during the session of the
Cyprus Parliament, commemorating the Armenian Genocide, Armenian
representative in the Cyprus Parliament Vartkes Mahdessian will address
the House. The entrance to the public during the commemoration is
open to all community members.

Please read the Gibrahayer Calendar for the complete series of events.
