    Armenian Genocide 90th Anniversary Candlelight - Recognition Walk

    SYDNEY - The Armenian Youth Federation of Australia (AYF) has
    organised a candlelight recognition walk and memorial ceremony in
    Sydney's CBD for Thursday, the 28th of April 2005.

    The walk, from Hyde Park's water fountain to the NSW State Parliament
    House, is aimed at gaining widespread recognition for the Armenian
    Genocide in its 90th anniversary of commemoration.

    The AYF requests the presence of the entire Australian-Armenian
    community in order to achieve its ultimate goal of educating the
    greater Australian public and media of the Armenian Cause.

    The walk will also exhibit the community's willingness to fight the
    90-year-long battle for recognition for their lost ancestors and their
    sacred land, until it delivers a just solution.

    Buses are being organised by several community groups throughout
    Sydney's Armenian districts and to declare your interest in using this
    facility, please refer to the contact below. An official NSW Police
    escort has also been arranged.

    Once the walk reaches its completion at the NSW State Parliament
    House; there will be a memorial/wreath laying ceremony at the Armenian
    Genocide Commemorative monument within the Parliament's Macquarie
    Street headquarters.
