Mayor of Haapsalu Urmas Sukles has conveyed a message on the occasion of the 105th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The message reads as follows:

“Dear Armenian friends, the people of Haapsalu are with you on this day of a sad memory. The courage of the Armenian people encourages us Estonians to overcome the difficult times today. We are strong together.”

In Haapsala there is a cross-stone (khachkar) erected in 2014 in memory of Estonian missionary Anna Hedvig Büll, who dedicated her life to save Armenian children of the Middle East from the Armenian Genocide.
