A  ceremony of laying flowers and wreaths took place at the Memorial to  the Victims of the Armenian Genocide. A documentary photo exhibition  has opened at the Kovcheg Museum, located on the territory of the  church complex.

Kalinin, took part in the funeral meeting at the  Armenian temple "Surb Gevorg". On April 24, on the territory of the  Church of the Nativity of Christ in Nizhnevartovsk, near the sacred  khachkar, residents of the city, representatives of the Armenian  diaspora, gathered to honor the memory of those who fell and were  innocently killed in the terrible days of the genocide of the  Armenian people.

The religious procession, traditional since 2020, took  place in Simferopol, as well as a funeral meeting at the Surb Hakob  church and the laying of flowers at the memorial to the victims of  the Armenian Genocide. The memorial ceremony took place on the  territory of the St. Sarkis temple in Feodosia, the participants of  which were representatives of the Armenian community of the city,  municipal authorities, and ordinary citizens," noted the Russian  diplomatic mission in Armenia. At the same time, the embassy  emphasized that they listed only a small part of the events dedicated  to the memory victims of the Genocide of 1915-1922, carried out on  the territory of the Russian Federation, which today is home to about  1 million Armenians, whose fate is closely intertwined with  representatives of other nationalities, primarily Russians.

"The pain and sorrow of the Armenian people is fully shared by our  entire multinational and multi-religious country, and the memory of  those innocently killed and killed during those terrible events is  carefully preserved both in historical documents and in the hearts of  Russians," summed up the Russian Embassy in Armenia.
