GERMANS TO PAY HOMAGE TO VICTIMS OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
Tomorrow, representatives of the Red Cross of
Germany’s Marburg Biedenkopf district headed by Hans
Kalonska will visit Tsitsernakaberd, memorial to the
victims of the Armenian Genocide, to pay homage to
innocent victims and will plant a spruce as well as
will visit the Armenian Genocide Institute-Museum.
The representatives of German Red Cross closely
cooperate with their colleagues in Armenia organizing
contests of quick response teams. In 1989, more than
100 people from the German Red Cross arrived in
earthquake-hit Spitak rendering medical aid and
building 500 living blocks, kindergartens and Schools
in Stepanavan. The organization also helped "Zatik"
orphanage.
The rescuers of Armenian Red Cross took the first
place in a European contest in Austria in 2004.
