/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Like every year after their arrival in Cyprus as
Genocide survivors, the Armenian community of Cyprus is preparing to
commemorate the reason why they ended up in Cyprus almost 90 years ago.
The highlight of the series of events in the capital - under the
auspices of the President of the House of Representatives Marios
Garoyian - is the political meeting featuring PASOK MP and former
Defense Minister Akis Tzokatsopoulos on Wednesday April 23.
The following day on Thursday 24 April, the community will march
along Armenia street, leading up to the Genocide Memorial where
a Vigil will be held, while the Armenian youth will set up a big
screen on Eleftheria Square and will distribute informative leaflets
to passers-by.
On Thursday 17 April at 4:00 pm, during the session of the
Cyprus Parliament, commemorating the Armenian Genocide, Armenian
representative in the Cyprus Parliament Vartkes Mahdessian will
address the House.
The entrance to the public during the commemoration is open to all
