Armenian National Congress activists today marched from Freedom Square to Tsitsernakaberd to pay tribute to the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide.

The march was led by Gagik Jhangiryan, Aram Manukyan, Levon Zurabyan and David Shahnazaryan.

Unlike the ARF's march with torches held yesterday, police officers made attempts to impede today's march. According to "A1+"'s correspondent, whereas during the ARF's march police officers were stopping cars for participants to pass, today they were forcing the cars to stop until the road was clear.

The participants of the march held signs reading "No to historical commission" and "No to oblivion in Zurich".

Near Kievyan bridge, the participants of the march were joined by RA First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan and leader of the People's Party of Armenia Stepan Demirchyan.

The ANC's April 24 march has already turned into a tradition. The participants are already at the peak of Tsitsernakaberd.
