/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The National Congress of Armenians of Ukraine
has drawn up the list of events dated to the 95th anniversary of
the Armenian Genocide. The Congress decided to screen a film about
the Genocide and organize a concert with participation of well-known
Ukrainian performers. Besides, an Armenian public garden will be laid
and a Genocide memorial inaugurated in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine,
analitika.at.ua reported.

The Armenian Genocide (1915-23) was the deliberate and systematic
destruction of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during
and just after World War I. It was characterized by massacres, and
deportations involving forced marches under conditions designed to
lead to the death of the deportees, with the total number of deaths
reaching 1.5 million.

The majority of Armenian Diaspora communities were formed by the
Genocide survivors.
