  Armenian Youth of Moscow commemorates Genocide victims April 24, 2012 - 11:35 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - On April 22, the Armenian Youth Association of Moscow held a protest action at Taras Shevchenko embankment in Russian capital to commemorate victims of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915. “This action aimed to demonstrate the solidarity of the Armenian youth and attract the attention of Moscow and Russian society to this issue,” says the statement PanARMENIAN.Net received from the organizers. The event brought together several hundreds of people, mostly the young students of Moscow universities, as well as people of different nationalities and age groups. The action commenced with a minute of silence in memory of those killed during Genocide. Then the participants took off their coats, and the crowd appeared to be dressed in red symbolizing the bloodshed committed by Young Turks in 1915. Following it, the organizers and participants of the action unrolled a huge black poster saying “The 1915 Armenian Genocide is a crime with no statute of limitation. Justice will triumph.” The event was sanctioned beforehand and held within legal framework, the security being provided by the law enforcement.
