Armenian Genocide commemorated in Times Square
For the first time in two years – and since President Joe Biden’s landmark Armenian Genocide affirmation – scores of resilient and spirited Armenian Americans gathered in Times Square, New York, on Sunday, April 24, 2022, to commemorate the 107th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, in a momentous event organized by the Knights and Daughters of Vartan.
Key elected officials, who for decades fought for U.S. recognition of the first genocide of the 20th century with determination and moral fortitude, once again graced the podium, and remarked on the symbolic victory of Armenian Genocide affirmation by the U.S.
The afternoon’s artistic program featured singer Elie Berberian, accompanied by pianists Paul Malakhanian and Lia Grigoryan, duduk player Vagharshak Aleksanyan, and musician Marco, who performed Komitas’s “Anduni,” Bocelli’s “The Prayer,” as well as “Hayer Miatzek” “Adanayi Vokhpuh” and “Kedashen.”
