Armenian-Greeks rally for genocide
Armenian-Greek demonstrators clash with police in Athens yesterday morning
during a protest march to the Turkish Embassy on the 86th anniversary of the
genocide of some 1.5 million Armenians by the Turkish State in 1915.
Hundreds of Armenians marched from Syntagma Square to the embassy, where they burnt
Turkish flags. Demonstrators called on Turkey to own up to the genocide,
stop its blockade of Armenia and return Armenian territory to Armenia proper.
Earlier in the day, a memorial service was conducted at the monument to the
genocide victims, on Chrysostomou Smyrnis Square in Nea Smyrni.
