2015 marks the Centenary of the Armenian Genocide, when over 1.5 million Armenians were massacred in an attempt by the Ottoman government to wipe out the race. The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the 20th Century.

The Armenian-Australian community is commemorating this anniversary with many events and projects. Follow the Calendar at www.armenia.com.au/100 for more information.

The ARS Blood Donor Drive is Sponsored by His Grace Bishop Haigazoun Najarian and the Armenian Genocide Centenary Commemoration Committee of Australia.
