    17:49 24/04/2015 " POLITICS

    In the framework of the Armenian Genocide Centennial events, the
    Armenians of Baghdad have marched towards the Turkish Embassy in
    protest against the policy of denial of Turkey, the Facebook page of
    the Armenian diocese of Iraq reports.

    More than 500 Armenians, with the guidance of the leader of the
    Armenian diocese of Iraq, Archbishop Avag Asaturyan, and accompanied
    by the representatives of the National Central Department and priests,
    have held a protest march towards the Turkish Embassy.

    Reaching the Embassy of Turkey, the Chairman of the National Central
    Department, Melkon Melkonian, read the protest statement of the
    Iraqi Armenians addressed to the authorities of Turkey which was
    later pasted on the Embassy walls.

    The protest statement was also handed to the local news media which
    in their turn widely covered the topic.

    It is noted that this is the first case in the history of the Iraqi
    Armenian community that such a large-scale event is held.
