Kyiv – In many cities of Ukraine, molebens [public prayers] and memorial services were conducted in memory of the alleged two-thirds of the Armenian nation massacred in the former Ottoman Empire 90 years ago. 5tv.com.ua posted the news on 24 April 2007.
In southern Ukrainian Simferopol, Crimea, more than 1,500 Armenians lit candles and held a religious procession commemorating fellow countrymen who fell victim to the genocide.
“The nation was, practically, annihilated. Therefore, for all the Armenians who had to leave their native land and now live almost all over the world, it is a truly tragic day,” said Mykola Kocharian, vice-president of Ukraine’s Union of Armenians.
