Thousands to Commemorate The 102nd Anniversary of The Armenian Genocide in Ottawa
Ottawa Thousands of Canadians from across the country will gather in Ottawa on M o n d a y, A p r i l 2 4 t h t o commemorate the 102nd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and demonstrate against the Government of Turkey s ongoing denial of the crime. 102 years have passed since the start of the Armenian Genocide, the first genocide of the 20th century. Through the efforts of the Turkish Government, the crime has gone unpunished. The families of victims have not been compensated and virtually all Armenian material, cultural and religious wealth, and all remnants of the flourishing indigenous Armenian civilization of thousands of years remains confiscated or ruined in Turkey. The demonstrators will first gather at the steps of Parliament Hill on Wellington Street, where they will thank Canada and the Canadian government for their ongoing recognition of the facts of 1915, but will also call upon the government to exert pressure on its NATO ally, Turkey, to come to terms with its past and to put
an end to its ongoing policy of Genocide denial. The demonstrators will then ceremoniously march via Rideau St. to the Embassy of Turkey where they will stage a peaceful demonstration against Turkey s ongoing denial policies and h u m a n r i g h ts v i o l a t i o n s , demanding justice for the 1.5 million victims of the Armenian Genocide. Every year on April 24th, millions of Armenians and nonArmenians from around the world stand in unison to demand their rights and to obtain condemnation of the crimes that were perpetrated against them by the Ottoman Turkish government. Despite Turkey's efforts to obstruct progress toward a truthful and just international resolution of this crime, numerous countries and international organizations, including Canada have recognized the events of 1915 as nothing but a genocide. A century has passed but activists will gather once again to reiterate their commitment to this humanitarian cause and to continue their struggle until justice is fully served.
