Армения и армянские диаспоры по всему миру отмечают 103 годовщину Геноцида армян

Армения и армянские общины во всем мире отмечают сегодня День Геноцида армян - вспоминая тех, кто погиб в результате зверств, совершенных в Анатолии в последние дни правления Османской империи в 1915 году.

Президент Армении Армен Саркисян, исполняющий обязанности премьер-министра Карен Карапетян, спикер парламента Ара Баблоян, члены правительства, депутаты и лидеры Нагорного Карабаха, а также другие официальные лица почтили память жертв  геноцида посещением мемориального  комплекса «Цицернакаберд» в Ереване. Среди посетивших были также Католикос Всех Армян Гарегин II.

В этом году годовщина приняла особое значение после нескольких дней уличных протестов, которые вчера привели к отставке премьер-министра Сержа Саргсяна. Лидер народного движения, возглавлявший протесты, Никол Пашинян, призвал сторонников побывать на мемориале позднее днем.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he’s optimistic about the Istanbul talks. There is “the potential for a good meeting” between Putin and Zelensky, Trump said in Washington, adding that he was “thinking about flying over” to the talks from his visit to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates that day.
