/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On Sunday, April 25, 2010, for the 25th year,
thousands of Armenian Americans and people against genocide will
gather in New York’s Times Square from 2-4 PM to commemorate the first
genocide of the 20th Century, the Armenian Genocide. The new theme is
"Turkey is the Question, America is the Answer."
This historic event will pay tribute to the 1.5 million Armenians
who were annihilated by the Young Turk Government of the Ottoman
Empire (1915-1923) and address the consequences which are still with
us today. Government leaders and the news media have recently been
preoccupied with Turkish-Armenians relations and the closed borders
in the Caucasus.
Major political figures will speak as well as civic, humanitarian,
and educational leaders.
