April 24: In remembrance of the Armenian Genocide

April 24, 2012 by Beth Shepherd

Every year on April 24, hundreds of thousands of Armenians gather around the world to remember the victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide that took place in the Ottoman Empire carried out by the Turkish government.Tsitsernakaberd (Armenian: Ծիծեռնակաբերդ) is a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Armenian; it is located on a hill overlooking Yerevan, Armenia.

I have been to Tsitsernakaberd several times and also the informative and very moving Genocide Museum located on the memorial grounds. Here a few of the photographs I took during my visits:

My kingdom for a slice of Lahmajun »

Some might fend off a mid-life crisis by leaving the comforts of their corporate salary to jet off to a deserted island. Others might buy a Jaguar. I’ve chosen to dive head-long into my 50s and beyond by becoming a first-time parent. At any given moment you might find me holding a camera, a spade, a spatula or a suitcase. Or my little girl's hand. Adopted from Armenia, she puts the Pampers and Paklava into my life.
