Thursday, the press service of Armenia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs
reports.

speech at the ceremony. Armenian Ambassador to Great Britain Armen
Sargsyan’s message was read out as well.

Genocide. Due to the local Armenian community’s efforts, an agreement
on a plaque commemorating Armenian Genocide victims was reached.
