Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan wrote on his social media page:
“Dear compatriots,
After 111 years, we bow down to the memory of the victims of the Great Genocide.
This day reminds us of what we have lost and what we have today.
The state is a value that must be preserved and strengthened every day.
Peace is its foundation as the main condition for the security and sustainable development of our people.
What kind of Republic of Armenia will we leave to our children depends on our decisions today.
I bow down to the memory of our martyrs.”
