On the morning of Friday 24 April 2015, the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide was commemorated at the Saint Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral in Antelias where Holy Mass was offered by Lebanese Diocese Bishop Shahe Pannosian.
After the liturgy, Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia consecrated the renovated Martyrs’ chapel.
Many organizations and institutions placed flower wreaths at the chapel. The ARCL Regional Executive also place a wreath of flowers in memory of the one and a half million martyrs and renewed its vow to continue its service to the Armenian people.
Afterwards, numerous ARCL members participated alongside more than fifty thousand Lebanese Armenians in the “We Remember We Demand” walk from Antelias to Bourj Hammoud Municipality Stadium where various speakers restated the demand of the Armenian people for justice and restitution.
