    TORCH VIGIL TO ARMENIAN GENOCIDE MEMORIAL TO KICK OFF ON TUESDAY EVENING

    April 22, 2013 | 12:24

    YEREVAN.- The torch vigil to the Memorial to the Armenian Genocide
    victims will start in Liberty Square at 6pm on Tuesday.

    Numerous student, youth organizations and NGOs have joined the
    traditional torchlight procession organized by the youth branch of
    ARF Dashnaktsutyun.

    The participants will mark the 98th anniversary of the Armenian
    Genocide. The event will be joined by the regional branches of Youth
    Foundation of Armenia.

    The fact of the Armenian Genocide is recognized by many states. It was
    first recognized in 1965 by Uruguay. In general, the Armenian Genocide
    in Ottoman Turkey has already been recognized by 21 countries and 43
    out of 50 U.S. states.

    Turkey denies accusations of mass killings of Armenians during the
    First World War and is extremely sensitive to criticism voiced by
    the western states.
