On March 31, the Requiem by great Armenian composer Tigran Mansurian was performed in memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide at the Chamber of the Arts in Mexico. The event was organized by the RA Embassy in Mexico and the organizers of the annual Festival of the Historic Center of Mexico City, as the RA MFA press service reports.

Among the attendees were maestro Tigran Mansurian, RA Ambassador to Mexico Grigor Hovhannisyan, Ambassadors, public and political figures, as well as diplomats and journalists.
