"Each year on April 24, Armenians spread all over the world gather
at the memorials to the Armenian Genocide victims. Deir ez Zor has
become a holy place for all Armenians to pay daily visits. We are
here to pay tribute to the victims of the Armenian Genocide killed
by the Ottoman Empire and to confirm our determination to restore
historical justice," he said.
The delegation returned to Armenia on November 26.
