The march was organized by the Immortal Regiment NGO.

WWII veterans were among the participants.

Participants were waving the flag of Armenia and carrying photos of their family members who died in WWII.

Immortal Regiment NGO founding director Edmon Hovhannisyan earlier said that the goal of the event is to always keep the victories and heroism of Armenians bright.

“Our ancestors, our grandfathers and parents continue to teach us what’s patriotism and family, how you should protect your country, when you live as one nation, one family,” Hovhannisyan said, adding that they link the past with the present by organizing the procession.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
