The Armenian community of Sweden has initiated Light the Night campaign. Head of the Armenian Association of Sweden Vahagn Avedian said that the community encourages to "Light the Night" by lighting a candle through the night of April 23rd and into the morning of the 24th, in remembrance of 1.5 million victims of the Armenian Genocide.

“Through lighting a candle in the window, we will show that the victims’ memory will live forever and that we pursue justice and peace,” Avedyan stated.
