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

contains cruel pages of genocide.

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
