Light the Night, 2010 Campaign
On the eve of April 24th, we encourage to "Light the Night" by lighting a
candle through the night of the 23rd and into the morning of the 24th, in
remembrance of the 1.5 million souls that fell victim to the annihilation
machine of the Ottoman Empire. Each lit candle placed on the window sill
will represent a soul lost throughout the years of 1915 and 1923.
Together, lets "Light the Night", lets vow to remember, to never forget,
and to pursue justice and peace for all humanity.
The Light the Night campaign started in 2005 in connection to the 90th
remembrance day of the Armenian Genocide and we wish to continue this
campaign hoping that it will be a permanent tradition. In previous years,
the campaign received wide TV and radio coverage in Armenia, among others
from H1, VivaCell and Printinfo. We are working for a larger support from
companies, organisations and indivuduals and hope that you too could join
us in this tradition. Help us to spread the news!
Take a picture of your lit candle and send it to us with information about
city and country and we will add it to our gallery. Email your image and
information to [email protected].
