YEREVAN (ArmRadio) A number of countries have already accepted Armenia’s invitation to attend the events commemorating the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide, Armenia’s President Serzh Sarkisian said on Thursday during a meeting of the State Committee for the Commemoration of the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide.
Sarkisian said that some countries are going to send governmental delegations. Others will attend the events to be organized by local Armenian communities.
The Armenian President believes that the scale of the events and the number of those present are especially important now that Turkish President Recep Erdogan has appeared with a cynical and short-sighted invitation to attend the celebrations of the 100th year of the Turks’ victory in the Battle of Gallipoli.
