Streets across Armenia’s capital were filled with light as thousands gathered for the annual torchlight march ahead of April 24, marking 111 years since the Armenian Genocide. People of all ages walked together through Yerevan, honoring the memory of the 1.5 million Armenians who were killed.
The march is organized each year by the youth wing of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation. It begins in Republic Square and moves through central Yerevan before reaching the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial, the official site dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide. Large crowds took part, carrying torches as they walked in silence and reflection.
The Armenian Genocide was carried out by the Ottoman Empire during World War I. It began on April 24, 1915, when Armenian intellectuals and community leaders were arrested and later killed. This was followed by mass killings, forced marches and widespread starvation, in what historians describe as an attempt to destroy the Armenian population from its historic homeland.
Today, the government of Turkey continues to deny that these events constitute genocide. Azerbaijan, a close ally of Turkey, has also supported this position. During this year’s march, some participants burned the Turkish flag as a sign of protest, reflecting ongoing anger and concern over security and identity issues.
April 24 is observed each year as Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. Across Armenia and in Armenian communities worldwide, people gather to honor the victims by lighting candles, placing flowers at memorials and sharing family histories passed down through generations.
As marchers reached the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial, the flames of the torches remained steady, symbolizing both grief and resilience. Participants stood together in remembrance, reinforcing a message shared by Armenians around the world — that the past is not forgotten and that recognition and justice remain central demands.
This year’s march also carried added emotional weight, as tensions in the region remain high and the consequences of recent conflicts, including the loss of Artsakh, continue to shape public sentiment. For many, the torchlight procession was not only about honoring the past, but also about raising awareness of present-day challenges.
The steady glow of torches moving through Yerevan served as a symbol of continuity. Participants showed that remembrance remains strong and that the call for truth and justice continues to guide future generations.

May you burn under the Turkish flag you set ablaze!
I say to the entire Armenian nation: there is no other path for you than Türkiye. Stop being a tool of the West and Russia, and stand by your Prime Minister, Mr. Pashinyan.
Stop using Agrı Dagı
Long live free armenia and RIP the armenian martyrs.

Armenian Classic 😂
Sizin ancaq gücünüz bunun kimi alçaqlıqlara çatır ancaq güclə qarşılaşanda arxanıza baxmadan qaçmağa cilddən cildə girib özünüzü yazıq bir millət kimi göstərmək
👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
В глазах всего мира Армения считается демократической страной,а значит и люди живут там свободные, этот шаг провокаторов, опять толкает Армению в лапы рашистана, сжигать флаги,все это шоу это участь дикарей,но не демократического общества,силу нужно показывать разумом и достижениями!
Instead of hiding it, Turkey needs to confront its history by officially acknowledging the crime against humanity, the "Genocide', that resulted in the killing of 1.5 million Armenians in Western Armenia.

А вот представьте себе если столько же людей пошли бы Арцах обратно забирать

Сжигать флаг современной Турции- глупо. Воевать Армения не может, нет ресурсов.
Ненависть сжигает изнутри – всего лишь.
They do it everyfckn year nothin changed 😅😅😅😅
Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed narrated from Ahmad bin Muhammad ad-Daynawari from Ali bin al-Hasan al-Kufi from Omayra bint Ouss from her grandfather al-Hussayn bin Abdurrahman from Abdullah bin Dhamra that Ka’bul Ahbar had said:
“On the Day of Resurrection the human beings will be resurrected in four categories; riders, walking people, groveling people and deaf, dumb and blind people, who do not understand, are not spoken to and not permitted to apologize. These are whom (the fire shall scorch their faces, and they therein shall be in severe affliction).” It was said to him: “O Ka’b, who are these people, whose condition will be so?” He said: “It is those, who have kept on deviation, apostasy and breaking the homage. Evil is that which their souls have sent before for them when they will meet Allah with the sin of fighting the caliph and the guardian of their prophet, their most aware jurisprudent, their most virtuous master, the bearer of the banner, the guard of the pond, the hope and the hoped one out of all this world, the knowledge that is never ignored, the straight path, from which whoever deviates will perish and fall in Fire. It is Ali, by the god of Ka’b, who is the most aware of them, the senior in peace (Islam) and the most discerned of all of them. I wonder at those, who prefer others to Ali. From among the descendants of Ali is al-Qa’im al-Mahdi, who will change the world into another one and by whom Jesus Christ  will argue against the Christians of Rome and China. Al-Qa’im al-Mahdi is the most similar one to Jesus Christ  in form, character, nobility and dignity. Allah will give him all what He has given to the prophets and more than that and He will prefer him to the all. Al-Qa’im, the descendant of Ali , will disappear like the disappearance of Prophet Joseph  and will reappear like the reappearance of Jesus the son of Mary . He will reappear, after his disappearance, with the appearance of the red star, the destruction of az-Zawra’ (ar-Riy), the sinking of al-Muzawarra (Baghdad), the rising of as-Sufyani, the war of the progeny of al-Abbas against the people of Armenia and Azerbaijan, in which thousands and thousands will be killed. Each one of the warriors will seize on an adorned sword, over which black banners will flutter. It will be a war full of red death and terrible plague.”

Հայերը սպանել են թուրքերին։
Armenian gangs killed Turks.
While the Ottomans were at war, Armenians massacred Turks.
