At the invitation of Turkish activists, the European Grassroots Antiracist Movement (EGAM) and the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) Europe will visit Turkey, to honor, in Istanbul from Monday to Friday, the victims of the Armenian Genocide.  

In addition, representatives from the two European organizations plus Turkey’s Irkçılığa ve Milliyetçiliğe DurDe (Say no to Racism and Nationalism) initiative on Friday will pay a visit to Armenian capital city Yerevan, and participate in the Genocide commemorations.

This is the second time that the European delegation—comprising the leaders of about twenty anti-racist organizations and Armenians from fifteen countries—will partake in the Armenian Genocide remembrance events in Turkey, Nouvelles d’Arménie reported.    

Numerous well-known personalities as well as many representatives from European, Turkish and Armenian civil societies support this initiative, and they have signed under the respective message. 

This message will be publicized soon in the European press.
