12?
Just look at any old map of the Ottoman Empire. In every city you will see on it, Armenians were killed.

Van, Kars, Erzurum, Diyarbakir, Igdir..

Igdir and Kars were not part of the Ottoman Empire in 1915!

Go to www.twentyvoices.com and click on the survivor stories section.. it will give you a map of the Ottoman Empire with the name of the towns and one survivor from each town telling his/her stories.

Ok, the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex in Yerevan consists of (amongst other smaller features) a needle, an eternal flame, a memorial wall and a museum. At the eternal flame the fire is set below the ground level and is surrounded by (I believe 12) large semi-verticle rocks (I've read they "slouch over the flame in sorrow"). I believe the stone is basalt. I've been told, these symbolize not 12 cities (as there were far more than this) but 12 Armenian provinces. The cities (I am not sure if all are covered or just the larger ones where the Genocide took place) have their names carved into a very large and long wall of stone that runs parallel to the walk up to the eternal flame. For example the cities of Kharpert and Sebastia (where my grandparents came from, and where their families were slaughtered by Turks) were on the wall.

I will try to find out what the 12 province names were for you, but it might take a while. Does what I said already help? If you want I can try to post the pictures I've taken when there...
