Due to rain, the event dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the
Armenian Genocide took place in St. Vardan Armenian Church, instead of
Times Square in New York. Despite poor weather conditions, the event
brought together U.S. senators and congressmen, Armenian community
representatives, as well as the Armenian Genocide survivors, who came
to commemorate the victims.
"Rain will not prevent us from lighting a truth torch about the
Armenian Genocide every year," U.S. Senator Chuck Schwimmer said.
Participants emphasized that it is high time to make the Armenian
Genocide a legal issue and demand a moral and material compensation
from Turkey.
Signed by the city Mayor and Governor, a declaration on making April
24 the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day was issued in New York.
