The annual torchlight procession dedicated to the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide this year has the slogan "Wake up, Lao."

Second President Robert Kocharyan and third President Serzh Sargsyan also will take part in this procession.

And Artur Vanetsyan—the leader of the opposition "With Honor" Faction of the National Assembly (NA) and chairman of the opposition Homeland party of Armenia—, who has been on a sit-in for already a week now at Freedom Square in downtown Yerevan, and his supporters will join this torchlight procession from the aforesaid square.

Ishkhan Saghatelyan—the NA deputy speaker from the opposition "Armenia" Faction and a representative of the opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Dashnaktsutyun Party Supreme Body—stated earlier today there is a need to show and prove the whole world that "we are the masters of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), we are the masters of our statehood, and we are the masters of the future of the Armenian people for which we are ready to fight, and as of April 25 uninterrupted protests, steps and actions will start all over Armenia."

The torchlight procession will go to the Armenian Genocide Memorial in Yerevan.

Along with the torchlight procession in Yerevan, there will be a similar procession in the Artsakh capital Stepanakert.

A torchlight processions have been held every year in both Yerevan and Stepanakert. But this year these processions are more crucial amid the current crisis in the Artsakh issue.
