LONDON, UK—On Sat., April 20, approximately 1,500 people, led by the Homenetmen Scouts, members of the Armenian Community and Church Council (ACCC) and the Campaign for Recognition of the Armenian Genocide (CRAG), marched through the streets of London, moving from Oxford to Regent Street, Haymarket, Trafalgar Square, and Whitehall before arriving at the Cenotaph Memorial. Official representatives, including Ara Margarian, councilor, Embassy of the Republic of Armenia; Ara Palamoudian, chairman of the ACCC; and Bishop Vahan Hovhanessian of the Diocese of the Armenian Church of Great Britain, placed wreaths at the Cenotaph in memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide.
