    24.04.2005 03:50

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenians of Chita region of Russia commemorated the
    victims of the Armenian Genocide today, reported the Yerkramas newspaper of
    Armenians of Russia. Some 150 representatives of the Armenian Diaspora of
    Transbaikalia lit candles in the memory of the victims in the Cathedral of
    Kazan icon of the Blessed Virgin. In the words of the Diaspora leader
    Vladimir Markosian, Transbaikalia priests of the Russian Orthodox Church
    have refused to chant a liturgy in the memory of the victims referring to
    discord between the Armenian and Russian Churches. The mourning procession
    of Transbaikalia Armenians finished with a funeral repast in Ani café.
