Der-Zor to Ottawa
commemorative march in memory of the 95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide: Montreal to Ottawa

Recap…

Hello All!

From April 21-24, 2010, ninety-five youth from Quebec and Ontario, relentlessly marched from Downtown Montreal to the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa, covering nearly 200 kilometers. Although the march got tough at some points, all of the participants courageously continued on until the very end. As we marched on through various different towns, we raised our voices, and showed the Canadian public that the Armenian youth has not forgotten the first genocide of the twentieth century, and will never forget what happened. We proved to them, that our struggle will continue until justice is served, and the whole world, including Turkey, recognizes and acknowledges the Armenian Genocide.

Throughout the march, we shared our experiences and photos with you on this blog. Since the beginning of our trek, we have had over 24,000 visitors, something that we would have never thought possible. Thank you for all of those who supported us by visiting the blog, commenting on our progress, and ultimately showing us that you cared about our mission and well-being.

The young men and women who bravely participated in the march showed the world that with their hard work, commitment, and dedication, they are ready to lead the Armenian people for years to come. We will never stop fighting, until justice is finally served.

Thank you

  1. Great recap Koko. It is very important to document the sacrifices that today’s Armenian youth is willing to make in order to further the Armenian cause that has been passed down to them from their parents, grandparents and ARF/School and Scout leaders.

    It proves that all along every song, every story and every picture has touched them the same way it touched the generations before them.

  2. wow. Good job.
    Proud!!
