Armenian organizations launch "Light the Night" campaign
On the eve of April 24th, ArmeniaDiaspora and Armenica encourage to "Light the Night" by lighting a candle through the night of the 23rd and into the morning of the 24th, in remembrance of the 1.5 million souls that fell victim to the annihilation machine of the Ottoman Empire. "Each lit candle placed on the window sill will represent a soul lost throughout the years of 1915 and 1923. Together, let's "Light the Night", let's vow to remember, to never forget, and to pursue justice and peace for all humanity.

The Light the Night campaign started two years ago in connection to the 90th remembrance day of the Armenian Genocide and we wish to continue this campaign hoping that it will be a permanent tradition. Last year the campaign received wide TV and radio coverage in Armenia and this year Printinfo has volunteered to contribute to the campaign by printing flyers free of charge for distribution within Armenia. We hope that you also could join us in this tradition," says the statement issued by the organizations.
