On February 26, Romania hosted events commemorating the 24th anniversary of pogroms of Armenians in the Azeri town of Sumgait. A liturgy was served in St Michael and Gabriel Church in Bucharest in memory of victims of Sumgait massacres. On behalf of the Armenian embassy in Romania, Armenian community and the local diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, wreaths were laid in the church yard following the event.

The documentary titled “Sumgait” was screed later. During the event, Romanian writer of Armenian descent Bedros Horasangian reminded of the tragic events.
