Large-scale events devoted to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide commenced in Rostov-on-Don on April 10. The event organizer is ‘Nakhichevan-on-Don Armenian Community’ Rostov Regional NGO. 

On April 23 in all Armenian churches of Don the ceremony of communion of all Armenian Genocide Victims to the Community of saints will be aired from First-Throned Etchmiadzin, the event organizers told Armenian News - NEWS.am.   

The main events will be held on April 24. After the traditional mourning liturgy and flower-laying on the cross-stone installed at St. Karapet Church, a mourning march will take place, which is expected to be attended by 10,000 people.  The participants of the march will hold banners urging to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide and condemn the crimes against humanity.

The event will culminate in the opening of the statue “No to Genocide,” which is the only statue in Russia that erases the boundaries between nationality and ethnicity, saying: “Genocide knows no nationality! No to crimes against humanity!”

The sculpture was made by famous Armenian sculptor Mkrtich Mazmanian in Armenia specially for that date, upon the order of ‘Nakhichevan-on-Don Armenian Community’ Rostov Regional NGO. It will be installed in the very heart of Nakhichevan.

The events will end at the Musical Theatre in the evening by honoring the Armenian Genocide victims.
