    YEREVAN (YERKIR) - Uruguay capital's city council passed a decision on
    March 30 to name a broad strip in the central Montevideo the Square of
    the Armenian People's Genocide.

    A motion to name one of Montevideo's streets "April 24, 1915," was
    introduced to the city council by its member Raffi Hunanian about a
    year ago. Under the same decision, a monument to be officially
    unveiled on April 24 will also be erected in the square.

    Uruguay was the first country to recognize the Armenian Genocide in
    1965, on the eve of the Genocide's 50th anniversary.
