Armenian Youth: "Turkey, Your Hands are in Blood"

PanARMENIAN.Net - Actions of Armenian youth organizations in commemoration of Hrant Dink are going on in Armenia. January 22 members of the Nikol Aghbalian ARF Dashnaktsutyun Youth Union and other 20 youth organizations gathered at the Yerevan State University and then marched to the EU Office. The action participants were carrying the Armenian tricolor and transparencies. "Turkey, your hands are in blood," one of them said. The young people lighted candles at Dink's portrait and commemorated him with a minute of silence.



They called upon the EU to be more vigilant and reconsider its stance on Turkey's accession. Abram Gasparyan, member of the Nikol Aghbalian Union said the Armenian Genocide is continued in Turkey. In 1915 the Genocide was also launched with killings of intelligentsia. "People are killed in Turkey because they are Armenians. Any of 80 thousand Armenians living in Turkey may fall victim," he said.



The initiators informed that wreaths will be laid in Tsitsernakaberd January 23 and a commemoration ceremony will be held in the Armenian Genocide Museum. The Nikol Aghbalian Union is also going to organize a collection of signatures condemning such crimes, reports IA Regnum.
