More than 500 Armenian pupils today marched to different embassies
with a demand to recognize the Armenian Genocide and guarantee peaceful
childhood for children.
They were carrying the photos of their peers killed during the Armenian
Genocide, which were handed to the UNO Yerevan office with a letter.
The event was initiated by the Ministry of Education and Science,
Yerevan City Hall and Genocide Museum-Institute.
The children were received by German Ambassador to Armenia Hans-Jochen
Schmidt who promised to convey the children’s request to his government
and people.
In his speech, the ambassador said he deeply mourns over Armenian
losses during the events of 1915.
