A series of activities were held in Istanbul yesterday to mark the
98th anniversary of the mass killings of Armenians during World War I.

Along with a delegation composed of 25 people from diaspora
organizations, various non-governmental organizations from Europe
attended the events held by Stop Nationalism and Racism Platform and
Human Rights Association (Ä°HD).

“Armenian organizations’ participation in the commemoration activities
is of a great importance. We are here to support NGOs’ struggle for
the recognition of the [Armenian] genocide,” The European Grassroots
Antiracist Movement (EGAM) president Benjamin Abtan told the Hurriyet
Daily News.
