April 24 is very moving in Armenia. Unlike commemorations in America, where you want to scream to the whole world, "HELLO!!! THERE WAS A GENOCIDE!!!", in Armenia, there is nothing to prove. Everyone knows. Hundreds of thousands of people walk from all over the city to converge upon the base of the hill upon which the genocide monument. From there a large mass moves slowly up to the eternal flames, all day long, with each person putting a flower or two by the flames. By the end of the day these flowers form a wall around the flames.
