ARMENIA
Huge crowds gather for memorial rites
YEREVAN -- Hundreds of thousands of people clutching tulips,
carnations and daffodils climbed a hill in Armenia's capital
yesterday to lay wreaths and remember the 1.5 million they say were
killed 90 years ago in Ottoman Turkey.
Local families mixed with members of Armenia's diaspora, who had
flown from Europe and the United States to remember friends and
relatives who had died between 1915 and 1923.
