The Armenian Community of Rhode Island will sponsor a candlelight
march tomorrow in Providence to commemorate the 99 anniversary of the
Armenian Genocide. The procession begins at 6:45 from the Sts.
Vartanantz Church at 402 Broadway to Providence City Hall, followed by
a program in the city council chambers.

The event is part of a national and international commemoration of the
genocide, where more than a million Armenians were killed by Ottoman
Turks and thousands more were deported.
