/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Various 93rd Armenian Genocide commemoration
events, which started on April 20, will culminate on Parliament Hill
on April 24. Religious leaders, representatives of other community
organizations, political representatives, and representatives of other
genocide victim nations will attend the commemoration ceremony in
Ottawa, the Armenian National Committee of Canada told PanARMENIAN.Net.
The Canadian-Armenian community and Armenians around the world are
commemorating the death of 1.5 million Armenians exterminated during
the first genocide of the 20th century by Ottoman Turkey.
This significant memorial ceremony will recall this horrendous
crime against humanity and to thank the Canadian people for their
support. Various members of the House of Parliament will accompany
the survivors to place flowers around the Eternal Flame.
The solidarity and support of Canadians to commemorate the 93rd
anniversary is not only for the victims of the Armenian Genocide,
but to all victim nations of genocide, Holocaust, war crimes and
human rights abuses across the world. We, as Canadians, should send a
clear message to the international community and to our follow human
begins that such crimes will not be tolerated, forgotten, denied, and
repeated. We owe it to the millions of martyrs who paid the ultimate
price for intolerance, xenophobia, and hatred.
List of other remaining Commemoration Events: Toronto, Calgary,
Yellowknife, Ottawa, Vancouver.
