    Armenian Genocide

    STUDENTS GETTING READY TO MARK THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY

    The Armenian youth will play a great part in organizing arrangements at the
    threshold of the 90th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Students from
    several universities presented their programs on April 13. The All-Armenian
    Youth Fund (AYF) will sponsor an electronic exhibition "Unblown Spring" on
    April 23. Works dedicated to the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in 1915
    will be presented at the Yerevan State Architecture University and
    afterwards they will be posted on the AYF website.

    The arrangement is organized by the Yerevan State Architecture University,
    Academy of Fine Arts, State Institute of Theatre and Cinema State
    Engineering University and the Armenian-Russian State University. The
    students of the Theatre and Cinema Institute will present a musical literary
    composition.

    Like last year, this year as well the AYF and students of the Architectural
    University will organize an e-mail march sending genocide condemning
    messages to representatives of countries that has not recognized the
    Genocide.

    Around 500 thousand students will march to Tsitsernakaberd, Monument to the
    Genocide Victims, in 90 files symbolizing the anniversary. Besides the
    anti-genocide posters, students will hoist banners numerated "1915", "1916",
    "1917"... "2004", "2005", symbolizing the period of Turkey's impunity.

    On April 18 and 21, the State Academy of Fine Arts and the Armenian-Russian
    University will put on an exhibition of materials connected with the
    Genocide.

    Astghik Avetisian, press secretary of All-Armenian Youth Fund, said that the
    pilgrimage to the desert of Deir el-Zor was canceled due to technical
    problems.
