YEREVAN. – Several dozen members of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Dashnaktsutyun Party Youth and “Nikol Aghbalyan” Student Unions are staging a sit-in, on Thursday, outside the German embassy in Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia.

The youth are demanding German Ambassador Reiner Morell to personally come down and take the letter, wherewith they require the Bundestag (parliament) of Germany to pass laws that criminalize Armenian Genocide denial in Germany.

The demonstrators, holding Armenian- and English-language signs, are chanting, “Recognition,” “Condemnation,” and “We demand.”

In addition, the protesters are wearing white shirts with forget-me-nots, which symbolize the Armenian Genocide Centennial, and are holding the flags of Armenia and the ARF.
