Event dedicated to 93rd anniversary of Armenian Genocide to be held in Moscow

PanARMENIAN.Net - On April 20, the Moscow Organization of the Union of Armenians of Russia (UAR) will hold an event dedicated to the 93rd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.



As a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter came to know from the UAR, a new feature film about the Armenian Genocide will be screened during the event.



The Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923 is the first genocide of the 20th century. Some 1.5 million of Armenians were slaughtered in the ethnic cleansing organized by the Ittihad ve Terakki (Unity and Progress) party. Some 500 thousand fled and found shelter in various countries, thus forming the Armenian Diaspora, which numbers 5 millions now.
