PanARMENIAN.Net - Yesterday on April 23 Boston Armenians organized a march from Armenian Apostolic Holy Trinity Church to Harvard square. Rally participants included Boston and Harvard students, who held posters containing mottos such as "Turkey, come to terms with your past", "Armenian People demand Genocide Acknowledgement", "We demand justice", "Turkey is still hiding behind its lies".

Rally participants were distributing information leaflets on Armenian Genocide and Turkey's negation policy. The piquet aimed to increase Genocide awareness.

Upon piquet completion, the participants returned to the Armenian church, to burn candles in memory of 1,5 million of innocent victims of Genocide, one of rally participants told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
