Series of events dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide have started with an exhibition of Crimean Armenian artists
at Crimea National Museum in April 15.
The exhibition that will continue until April 30 presents 67 works
of 17 artists. It is organized by the Union of Armenian Artists
in Crimea. Well-known Crimean artists, citizens of Simferopol and
representatives of different nations living in Crimea were present
at the opening ceremony.
According to Oleg Gabrielyan, head of the Armenian community in Crimea,
the exhibition is dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide. However, it is not about the tragedy of the Armenian people,
but its creativeness.
On April 18, the Armenian community and the Committee of the Armenian
Youth in Crimea held a round table conference under heading "Armenian
Genocide, without a right to forget".
It is anticipated to broadcast a program on the Public TV of Crimea;
representatives of Armenian, Bulgarian, Greek and German communities
will participate in the program.
On April 23, the community will organize "Light a remembrance candle"
action. On April 24, the Armenians of Crimea will walk in procession
along the central streets of Simferopol, after which in remembrance
of the Armenian Genocide victims a requiem mass will be offered at
the old Armenian cemetery near St. Jacob Church.
