Victims Of The Armenian Genocide Honored At A Khachkar Memorial In Tokyo

A small memorial ceremony was held at the International Christian University in Tokyo in memory of the victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide.

The initiators of the event were employees of the Armenian Embassy in Japan. The memorial Khachkar at which the ceremony took place had been erected in 2015 in honor of the centenary of the Armenian Genocide by Hrant Poghosyan. Armenian symbols are carved on one side of the khachkar and Japanese on the other.
