Public march of the Heritage Party
Yerevan-Approximately seventy young members and supporters of the Heritage Party today held a public march in Yerevan.
Despite the unsubstantiated impediments by the police force-as, in accordance with the initial arrangement, the number of the procession's participants had not exceeded one hundred and, therefore, there were no legal grounds for informing Town Hall, due to the limited nature of the event-the event started from the park adjacent to the statue of the renowned painter Martiros Sarian and its final destination was the Embassy of the United States.
Throughout the march, the participants held in their hands the national flag of Armenia, Heritage's banners, and placards representing the state flags of the twenty-one countries which formally have recognized the 1915-1923 Genocide of the Armenians.
Upon arrival at the US Embassy, the young marchers delivered to Stephen Banks, Head of the Embassy's Political/Economic Section, their message addressed to the newly elected US President, Barack Hussein Obama.
In the message, the participants urge the President to officially acknowledge not only the Genocide of the Armenian people, but also the great dispossession of their homeland. The aforesaid message is presented below.
