More than 500 Armenians of Tbilisi held a rally in front of the
Turkish embassy in Georgia, reaffirming the will and commitment to the
universal struggle for justice and demanding the Armenian Genocide
recognition. Not all of the rally participants are descendants of
the massacres survivors, but history and grief are common for all
Armenians.
The event was organized by the Armenian Community of Georgia,
Armenian Cooperation Center of Georgia and Union of Armenian Students
of Georgia.
A representative of the Assyrian community also came to share the
pain of the Armenian people and to express words of support.
Later, at the Chess House the Armenian community commemorated the
Genocide victims. A documentary on the Armenian Genocide was screened,
as well as essays, entitled "I remember 1915" were presented by
students of Tbilisi schools.
On the eve of April 24, a torchlight procession of several dozen young
men and women of Armenian descent was organized. The march ended with
a rally in front of the Turkish Embassy in Georgia.
On April 12, the Armenian organizations of Georgia addressed the
Georgian President and parliament, urging to consider recognition of
the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire.
