During the past 15 years, the southwestern Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi has been hosting mournful events on April 24, the day of commemoration of the Armenian Genocide.

The Armenian people unite on that day, Victor Davidovich, head of Armenian community in Ukrain’e Chernovitskaya region told Analitika.at.ua.

“The tradition of bringing together representatives of the Armenian Diaspora of Chernovitskaya, Khmelnitskaya, Ivano-Frankovskaya and Ternopolskaya regions in the city of Chernovtsy comes to prove it,” he said.

Memorial events started in Kyiv on April 13, with Ukrainian News Agency’s press center hosting a “The Armenian Genocide: Impunity causes the crime to repeat” round table.

On April 24, all Armenian churches and chapels in Ukraine will serve liturgies for the memory of innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide.

Kiev is going to mark the memorial day in a chapel located on a new plot assigned by city administration to the Ukrainian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church for construction of a new cathedral.
