The new Armenian Genocide Memorial was blessed on Friday, in Boise, Idaho, USA.

The initiative was launched by the members of the “Idaho Armenians” NGO.

According to Idaho Press, Father Nektarios Serfes from the Greek Orthodox Church of Boise offered his services to bless the memorial.

The event brought together representatives of the local Armenian community, and guests.

In 2004, Idaho became the 33rd US state—of now 47—to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
