Together, let's "Light the Night", let's vow to remember, to never forget, and to pursue justice and peace for all humanity.The Light the Night campaign started two years ago in connection to the 90th remembrance day of the Armenian Genocide and we wish to continue this campaign hoping that it will be a permanent tradition.

We hope that you also could join us in this tradition," says the statement issued by the organizations.
