    Armenian Community of Toronto Commemorates
    95th Anniversary of Armenian Genocide

    What: The Canadian-Armenian Community of Toronto will be commemorating the
    95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide of 1915.

    When: Sunday, April 25, 2010 at 5:30 p.m.

    Where: Armenian Youth Centre, 50 Hallcrown Place, Toronto (major
    intersection Victoria Park Ave. and Highway 401).

    Details: Middle East Correspondent of The Independent, Robert Fisk, will
    be the keynote speaker. Representatives from all major Canadian political
    parties and all levels of government will be participating.

    Over 1.5 million Armenians perished in a systematic effort by the Turkish
    government of the Ottoman Empire to eliminate the indigenous Armenian
    population living peacefully on its historic homelands. It was the Armenian
    Genocide, which introduced the spectre of holocaust to the 20th Century; a
    crime that has since been duplicated in various forms in Nazi Germany,
    Rwanda and Darfur.

    It is expected that 800 members of the Canadian-Armenian Community of
    Toronto will attend.

    For further information on the Armenian Genocide, please see the Armenian
    National Committee of Canada website at http://www.anccanada.org or contact
    us at 416-219-7178.
