Unveiling of monument to Armenian Genocide victims due in Cardiff today
November 3, a historic consecration of a Khatchkar will take place in Cardiff, Wales.
As the Wales-Armenia Solidarity told PanARMENIAN.Net, Wales has distinguished itself by being the first country within the UK to recognize the Armenian Genocide at both national and regional levels.
This is the first time a plot of land has been allocated in a public area within the UK for a memorial to the victims of the Armenian Genocide.
The monument will be unveiled by the Presiding Officer of the National Assembly, Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas and the Armenian Ambassador, Dr Vahe Gabrielyan.
The stone is Welsh, the design is Armenian, the stonemason is Welsh and the inscription is by the hand of a Bishop of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
The commemorative words are in Welsh, Armenian and English.
