What are you doing this Year?

[SoSarkissian]

I just wanted to know who is doing what in his/her region. Its April again, and as always, Armenians should be having events for the cause of Recognizing the Armenian Genocide.

Please post what is happening in your area this year ... even if you're not an Armenian but are aware of an event scheduled for this April regarding the Armenian Genocide, please post too ...

24 of April is my husband's birthday : (it already shows he is not an Armenian) lol and the day of his exam for his MBA..
2 years ago we spent his birthday in 4 hours genocide march in London (to get to London it took us additional 2 hours).On the way back home we obviously were very tired and hungry and my husband stopped in front of Turkish kebab!
The look he got he remembers until now
