    PanARMENIAN.Net - The Assyrian people of Armenia took a historic step
    to preserve their heritage and history by honoring victims of the
    Assyrian genocide, committed by the Ottoman government during WWI
    (1914-1918), AINA reported.

    According to Mr. Arsen Mikhaylov, the Chapter Secretary of the Assyrian
    Universal Alliance (AUA) in Armenia, preparations are under way for
    the upcoming official unveiling of the Assyrian genocide monument in
    Yerevan on April 25, 2012.

    The special program is organized by the AUA in collaboration with
    Assyrian Armenian Association (Atour). The unveiling will commence
    at 3:00 pm in Yerevan, at the crossroads of Moskovyan and Nalbandyan
    streets, AINA says.

    Mr. Mikhaylov noted that he expects a number of representatives from
    the government to attend the unveiling. A large number of guests
    are expected from overseas, including Mr. Hermiz Shahen, the Deputy
    Secretary General of the Assyrian Universal Alliance from Australia,
    Mr. David David, The president of the Assyrian Australian National
    Federation and the Regional Secretary of AUA in Australia and New
    Zealand, Mr. Edwin Babeleh Khanshan, Regional Secretary of Homeland
    from Iran, Dr. Anahit Khosroeva, Ph.D., a Senior Researcher in the
    Institute of History, National Academy of Science From The Republic
    of Armenia, and Mr. Sabri Atman, Director of the Assyrian Genocide
    Research Center (Seyfo Center) in Sweden. Among the guests will also
    be representatives from the Assyrian Armenian organizations.

    The Armenian Chapter of the Assyrian Universal Alliance and the
    Assyrian Association of Armenia are extending an open invitation to all
    Assyrians around the globe to attend this important memorial ceremony.

    "The AUA will be pleased and honored to see participation by
    non-Assyrians as a measure of support for the Assyrian nation's demand
    for justice, and the condemnation of genocide in general," said Mr.
    Mikhaylov.
