YEREVAN, 26 MARCH, ARMENPRESS. Deputy Mayor of Yerevan Aram Sukiasyan convoked today a consultation with the principals of all primary schools under the subordination of Yerevan Municipality. The deputy mayor presented the events dedicated to the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide, as well as the generalized approaches and principles for organizing those events, as the Department of Information and Public Relations of Yerevan Municipality reports to “Armenpress”.

 “As you know, Mayor of Yerevan Taron Margaryan is a member of the State Commission on Coordination of  the events for the commemoration of the 100^th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide led by the President of the Republic of Armenia, and Yerevan Municipality, with its subordinate structures, will also be actively participating in holding the events. We also look forward to the active participation of schools. There are several principles that are of pivotal significance. The two components of the slogan “I Remember and Demand” must be equally emphasized. The idea of renaissance and the episodes of self-defense battles must also be emphasized. Importance must be attached to the state and statehood, the achievements that have been made over the past century and the activities that individuals have carried out in this period,” Deputy Mayor of Yerevan Aram Sukiasyan emphasized and added that the events to be held by the schools named after Armenian writers killed in 1915 (Krikor Zohrab, Siamanto, Daniel Varoujan and Ruben Sevak) are part of the municipality’s list of events.

 At the end of the meeting, Deputy Mayor of Yerevan Aram Sukiasyan called on the school principals to engage the representatives of their respective schools in the citywide cleaning day and tree-planting ceremony to be held on April 11^th ahead of the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide on April 24^th.
