Armenian embassy staff blocked at Tehran Genocide event![]() April 24, 2025 - 19:06 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - During a commemoration ceremony for the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide held in the courtyard of the St. Sarkis Cathedral in Tehran, a group of participants—citizens of Armenia—obstructed staff from the Armenian Embassy in Iran from approaching the genocide victims’ memorial, Hayastan.news reports, citing sources. The demonstrators chanted slogans such as “Denial is a crime” and “Nikol is a traitor.” They also tore flowers from the embassy staff’s hands. Protesters justified their actions by accusing the official Armenian government—whom they described as promoting a policy of denial and appeasement toward Turkey—of attempting to divide the Diaspora and interfere in genocide commemoration events. ![]() ![]() The foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Ararat Mirzoyan and Jeyhun Bayramov, have arrived in Washington.
