Events, including a lecture, followed by screening of a film "Armenian
orphan children’s prayer", were organised in the St Astvatsatsin
Church, Aleppo, by the Tekeyan Cultural Association to mark the
upcoming 95th anniversary of the 1915 Genocide.

The commemoration events have been starting in Aleppo since April 9.

Among them is a photo-exhibition by Samvel Karapetian, chairman of
the Non-Governmental Organisation, aimed at learning the Armenian
Architecture. The exhibition is reported to open on April 14. The

calendars, setting the stamps depicting the Memorial for Victims of
the 1915 Genocide, and the Khachqar (Cross-Stone), dedicated to the
90th anniversary of the Genocide.
