Besides the president and the catholicos the presidents of Cyprus, France, Serbia and Russia also had speeches. They condemned the Armenian Genocide in their speeches and once again urged the whole world to recognize the historical facts.
The queen of Paris, the Eiffel Tower, had its lights shut down to show the support of France to Armenian people. And the largest protest ever recorded in the history of the city took place in Los Angeles.
The lights were also shut down in the symbol of Italy, The Coliseum, as a sign of sympathy. The fans of "Olympique" de Marseille during its game versus "Lorient" paid tribute to the victims of the Armenian Genocide by forming a large flag of Armenia and a living poster condemning the Genocide on the tribune.
