Chairman of the ANC Sweden Arshak Gavafyan informed “Armenpress” that the Armenian community of Sweden will hold a protest outside the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm on April 24.

The Chairman said that the protest will be followed by a liturgy in the St. Jacob Church. The protest event will continue in the Central Square of Stockholm, where representatives of various organizations will deliver speeches. Gavafyan also noted that usually the protests are joined by other minorities, in particular Assyrians. The Chairman said that rallies will take place in the Swedish city of Örebro as well. A protest event will be held in Gutenberg city.

The Armenian community along with other Christian minorities will start a rally from the Gustav Adolf Square. The Chairman said that every year representatives of Swedish political parties take part in the Armenian Genocide protest rallies. This year they will also participate. “Our main message is for Turkey to face its own history, and stop its hostile behavior towards Armenia and Armenian people. We demand compensation. The issue will not be solved only with an apology,” the Chairman said.
