Bombed Kapan on April 24
The events dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide kicked off in the heart of Syunik region on April 22.
Within the framework of the events, the members of "Davit Bek Ukhter" young NGO organized a tree planting at the memorial complex in Baghaburj amid the bad climate.
On April 23, the Dramatic Theater after Al. Shirvanzade of Kapan put on the first act of "Apricot Tree" with staging by actress Natalya Baghdasaryan. The idea that Armenians should always be strong was reflected once again with the symbol of Holy Trinity.
In the evening, members of the Armenian Youth Federation's Kapan branch organized the traditional torch march with the slogan "My name is struggle, my death is victory".
"There are issues that are more important than political affiliation, such as national issues that must bring all of us together. We must make and demand that Turkey recognize the Armenian Genocide," said the young Dashnaks.
The march began from the main bridge on Hunan Avetisyan Street in Kapan and reached the Genocide memorial complex in Baghaburj where the young Dashnaks gave speeches and burned the Turkish flag.
Today, on April 24, young and old residents of Kapan walked toward the memorial complex in Baghaburj where they paid tribute to the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide.
Representatives of regional and municipal authorities also laid wreaths at the memorial and the clergymen held a requiem. Citizens of Kapan also paid tribute to those who died in the war that is going on in our days. Nineteen years ago on April 24, the Azeri bombed Kapan for the first time.
