Confluence of Armenians in St. Sarkis
church
in Tehran |
Every year on 24th April, Armenian
community of Tehran gather in the St. Sarkis church of Tehran in order to
commemorate the anniversary of Armenian Genocide of 1915 by Ottoman
government, like other Armenians in the world.
Many of Armenians go to the church from the evening of 23rd
April. They pay homage by lighting candles and laying flowers on the
memorial of victims of the Armenian Genocide, located in the yard of the
church. In the morning of 24th April, Armenians march from St.
Sarkis church to the United Nation office in Tehran, after doing the
religious ceremony. In this way they express their protest to
the people of Iran and the world. |

But unfortunately, they didn’t march in the year 2004 for some reasons and
the confluence of Armenians, in and around the church, was finished after
performing the especial ceremony of anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
Below, you are watching some pictures of confluence of Armenians and the
ceremony in the St. Sarkis church. |
