On April 24 an event commemorating the 98th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide took place at the Armenian Embassy in Ottawa. Representatives of the Armenian community organizations from several Canadian cities laid memorial wreaths at "Armenia Immortal" monument and the clergymen led by Bishop Bagrat Galstanian and Archbishop Khajag Hakobian prayed for the souls of the innocent victims of Medz Yeghern.
