The hill of Tsitsernakaberd has become home today for thousands
Armenians and foreign visitors to pay tribute to Great Armenian
Genocide victims of 1915. One and half million Armenians were
brutally murdered and annihilated by Ottoman Turks. 95 years have
passed since those sufferings and massacre but the hearts of Armenian
people haven’t dispersed and the criminal lives unpunished…
People started visiting Tsitsernakaberd from yesterday evening holding
candles. The delegation of Armenian authorities chaired by President
Serzh Sargsyan is expected to pay their tribute soon.
It’s worth reminding that April 24 is officially announced to be
a non-working day since it’s defined by the law on holidays and
commemoration days.

killings of 1,5 million Armenians carried out early in the 20th
century and took the criticism of the West painfully.
