    ANTELIAS, APRIL 28, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. At the first
    monument in the world dedicated to the memory of the April martyrs and

    Armenians, who celebrated the liturgy, read the Bible. Then under the
    rain, His Holiness Aram I addressed to hundreds of present Armenians:

    I characterize April 24 on the calendar of our people in this way. We
    gather with the sole of account and demands.

    Demandfulness means account. Today our martyrs demand account of us."
    "Our martyrs remind us that we must demand account of genocide Turkey
    that conducted in 1915 the Genocide planned by the state towards our
    people. If genocide Turkey continues to deny the Genocide committed by
    its fathers, there are facts, closed in shelves of itself, the one
    conducted the Genocide, which prove that crime committed against the
    mankind. We ask: where is the justice? Where is the respect of the
    human rights? Where is revealing of the truth?" the Catholicos of the
    Great House of Cilicia stated. We must must continue our struggle of
    our demandfulness, reporting to our martyrs and demanding account of
    the genocide. April 24 is not a day on our calendar: everyday is April
    24 for an Armenian considering himself an Armenian and living like an
    Armenian. Today we start our oath from Armenia to Antelias, gathered
    round ashes of our martyrs.

    We re-start our oath in every corner of the world to step the way of
    our martyrs, remaining faithful to their will. This way that will take
    us towards the justice as this is the way leading towards the truth,"
    Aram I Patriarch said. After his speech His Holiness laid a wreath to
    the monument, then thousand of those present went by a procession
    towards Burj Hamud's sports ground to participate in the national
    ceremony.
