YEREVAN, APRIL 23, ARMENPRESS. Hundreds of events will be held in
various parts of the United Sates dedicated to the 98th anniversary of
the Armenian Genocide. In a conversation with "Armenpress" the ANCA
Press Secretary Elizabeth Chouljian stated that each of the states
will commemorate the Armenian Genocide victims' memory in its own
way, but the central events will be held in Washington, New York,
and California. Among other things she noted: "We usually use April
as an informational and educational period to inform news stations and
governmental bodies about the Armenian Genocide and address to them.
We target the American Government to stop its "complicity" with the
Turkish Government in the process of denial."
A massive manifestation is scheduled to be held in front of the Turkish
Embassy on April 24, after which the manifestants will come together
before the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia for the requiem service
and commemoration ceremony. In the evening commemoration ceremony
will be held near the Congress. Dozens of congressmen are expected
