YEREVAN. – The path that leads to the Armenian Genocide Memorial, in capital city Yerevan, becomes most packed on every April 24.
On that day, people visit the memorial to pay tribute to the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide in 1915.
Thousands of flowers are placed and candles are lit near the monument that eternalizes the Genocide victims, thus keeping the eternal flame.
