Ottawa – Members of the Armenian Youth Federation of Canada have gathered in Ottawa today prior to the official commemoration day of the 101st Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide to raise awareness about the cause.
Earlier during the day, more than 100 activists gathered at the busiest intersections of Canada’s capital, distributing over 2,000 informative fliers about the Genocide and the Turkish government’s ongoing policy of denial.
At 6:00 PM, the activists, tied to each other with rope, depicting a typical deportation march, marched down Sussex Dr. while reading historic accounts of the Genocide. The march concluded at the the CF Rideau Centre, where the participants staged a mass die-in to draw the public’s attention, who were provided with further information.
