Where will you be?
It’s less than a month before the annual Genocide commemorations. This year, of course, it marks 90 years since 1915. There are a series of events scheduled around the world, and ArmeniaDiaspora.com has a comprehensive listing of them.
Their site lists events country by country. I think many of us should be able to take part. I will be in France, so I am planning to go to the events scheduled in Paris, which include (according the ArmeniaDiaspora.com) a ‘March in commemoration of the Armenian Genocide on Champs-Elize towards the Arc de Triomphe’ and ‘Reception at Paris’ city hall held in memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide’.
If anyone is in Paris, let me know. What I’d be interested to see this year is how much mainstream press coverage this receives.
No events listed in Germany … maybe there will be untiprotest here organised by “friends” from the local Kebab store.

Hello, nice blog.
I’m half Armenian.
I’ll be going to Ottawa on April 24 for the protest in front of the Turkish embassy.
