In contrast to previous years, unstable situation in the country prevented Egypt’s Armenian community from holding a march in commemoration of Armenian Genocide victims.

As the editor-in-chief of Husaber newspaper, Suren Bayramyan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, in the evening of April 24 a commemorative event will be held in Cairo, with an Armenian tenor Gevorg Hajyan to perform Komitas compositions. Armenian Ambassador to Egypt Armen Melkonyan will deliver a speech at the event.

“On April 22, the Church of St. George in Cairo hosted a liturgy to commemorate innocent victims of the tragedy,” Mr. Bayramyan said.
