SYSTEM OF A DOWN TO GIVE CONCERT ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE 90TH ANNIVERSARY DAY
Famous American rock band System of a Down will give a concert titled «Souls - 2005» devoted to the 90th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. KROQ-FM Los-Angeles has initiated the concert. This is already the third concert of the group and the whole of its takings will be given to organizations, including the Armenian National Committee of America, which struggle against genocide in any country of the world. «It is very important for people to know about the crime denied by Turkey, the US State Department and Government,» group soloist Serj Tankian noted, adding that if the Armenian Genocide had been qualified as a crime against humanity in its time, it would have been possible to avoid the Jewish Holocaust.
