Alaverdi Commemorates Genocide Anniversary

ALAVERDI COMMEMORATES GENOCIDE ANNIVERSARY
Larisa Paremuzyan

Flower vendors in Alaverdi couldn’t keep up with the unprecedented
demand for flowers today.

Groups of students, after buying their flowers, were seen dashing
to the Genocide Memorial in the center of town with their colourful
offerings.

This morning, most Alaverdi residents had gathered at the Saint Grigor
Narektsi Church to pray for the souls of the 1.5 million innocent
victims of the 1915 Genocide.

After the Divine Liturgy, town residents and police marched to the
Genocide Memorial in unison to pay their respects.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
