Catholicos Aram I concluded the evening, calling on the young people to take up their responsibility; he stated, “On the threshold of the 100th anniversary of our genocide, we must develop a more coordinated approach to our just demands, especially that of compensation. Today, we ask the youth to take the leadership and continue the legacy of our martyrs.”
