YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 26, NOYAN TAPAN. A propaganda campaign was organized to the Tsitsernakaberd Complex to the Armenian Genocide Victims on September 25 on the initiative of Dream for Darfur international organization. The main purpose of the campaign is to condemn the Darfur crisis situation and draw the attention of the international community to this problem. The international procession started on August 8 from the border of Darfur and Chad and will finish in Hong Kong in December. The procession is making its way through the countries whose history contains cruel pages of genocide. The participants of the international procession stated that China as the country to host the 2008 Olymic Games may play a significant role in settlement of the Darfur crisis. Taking this fact into account, the procession participants light the symbolic Olympic torch from the eternal fire to memory of the genocide victims in each of these countries. The ceremony dedicated to memory of the Genocide victims was attended by Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II, the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the Secretary General of the World Council of Churches Samuel Kobia, survivors of the Darfur and Rwanda genocides and their descendants.
