Genocide 95th anniversary preparation Commission called its first session
Today the State commission on genocide 95th anniversary preparations met in its first session, chaired by commission head, RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan.
In his opening remarks, the Prime Minister stated in part: “You may be aware that we have decided to make due preparations for the 95th anniversary of the Genocide. Work is underway since last year as the ministries and public agencies formulated proposals to that effect while planning their activities for the year 2010. The prime minister-headed commission seeks to summarize these proposals toward best possible organization of April 24 commemorations. As stated at the National Assembly, I think it expedient to proceed with the 100th anniversary preparations right now as some of the initiatives will call for serious investment and a couple of years to prepare for, for instance the shooting of fiction and documentary films.”
New actions were said to have been planned for this year in addition to those already traditional events.
The commission members came up with corresponding proposals.
The Prime Minister told those concerned to submit their proposals in writing as shortly as possible to let them bring together in a single program of action.
