The participants started off from Surb Hakob church in the Karabakh capital city of Stepanakert to the Armenian Genocide memorial.

The march culminated with the reading of a proclamation by Mikael Demirdjian, who thanked Uruguay for its endless support.

Two events on the 102nd anniversary of the Genocide featured speakers and were held at the Armenian Genocide Monument in Montebello.

"April 24, 1915 divided the millennia-long Armenia history in two: before and after that tragic date," Serzh Sargsyan said.

Although modern Turkey denies the Armenian Genocide, many Turkish intellectuals have recognized this crime against humanity.
