Soccer match in commemoration of Armenian Genocide to be played in Estonia

A soccer match between Ararat-TTU and Art International teams on May 2 will complete the series of events in Estonia dated to the 95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, miasin.ru reported.

Ararat-TTU will play with black ribbons on their arms, in memory of 1.5 million victims.

“It’s important that famous sportsmen, coaches and actors playing for the team are not indifferent about this problem,” said Avetis Harutyunyan, Ararat-TTU leader.

“The Armenian Genocide is often used as a foreign policy tool. Not condemned, it entailed a chain of atrocities in various countries across the globe,” added Albert Stepanyan, the leader of Art International. “This game is a tribute to the memory of those killed. It’s our slogan - Never Again.”
