    In San Paulo in the Armenian Apostolic and Armenian Catholic Churches grand
    masses have been celebrated in memory of the victims of the Genocide, after
    which hundreds of participants have marched to the monument to the Genocide
    victims near the Churches.

    Near the monument at the presence of the Brazil National Guards of Honor
    after the blowing of horns first a spiritual and then a civic ceremony took
    place. During the ceremony V. Amadeu, delegate of the San Paulo Parliament,
    O. Mostijyan, head of the Brazil branch of the fund ŤArmeniať and lawyer N.
    Bertizlyan made speech. Spiritual songs have also been performed by the
    choirs of the Churches.

    At noon the Underground station named `Armenia' built in connection with
    April 24 was re-opened. The station radio broadcast the masses of Komitas
    and Makar Yekmalyan from early morning till late at night.
