will host the Armenian Ambassador to Canada, H.E. Armen Yeganian, and
Minister Jason Kenney, Minister of Employment and Social Development

(PRWEB) January 22, 2015
On Sunday, January 25th, One Free World International (OFWI) will
remember the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide with a free
event at 10:30 a.m. at Catch the Fire Church (272 Attwell Drive)
in Toronto. The event is free and open to the public.
OFWI founder Majed El Shafie will host the Armenian Ambassador to
Canada, H.E. Armen Yeganian, and Minister Jason Kenney, Minister of
Employment and Social Development and Minister for Multiculturalism,
for a discussion about human rights around the world then and now.
"It's time for the whole world to acknowledge what happened in
Armenia," said El Shafie. "Not just to remember the past, but to avoid
repeating the same mistakes in the future. We must be the voice for
the voiceless - then and now."
In August, El Shafie led a Canadian delegation to Armenia, which
included three Honourable Canadian Members of Parliament: Mr. Brad
Butt, Mr. Russ Hiebert and Mr. Leon Benoit, participating in the
capacity of observers. Also joining the delegation was Pastor Hany
Boghossian, from The Well on Bayview Church in Toronto, who served
as the Deputy Leader of the delegation.
The delegation was received by the President of the National
Assembly, Galust Sahakyan; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Edward
Nalbandian; Minister of Diaspora, Hranush Hakobyan; and the head
of the Armenia-Canada Parliamentary Friendship Group, Hovhannes
Sahakyan. The parties discussed the planned events dedicated to the
Centennial Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, mutual support
in international organizations and the successful cooperation of
parliamentary friendship groups. The delegation also visited the
Mother See of Holy Ejmiatzin, the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute
and laid a wreath at the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial to the victims of
the Medz Yerghern.

About Majed El Shafie El Shafie has a unique voice, having once been
