Genocide Commemoration Foiled in Kazakhstan
 
YEREVAN (Noyan Tapan) Representatives of the Armenian community in
Almaty, Kazakhstan, gathered on April 24 to pay tribute to the memory
of victims of the 1915 Genocide. The event was hosted by a school in
an Armenian-populated borough of the Kazakh [former] capital.
 
Some 20 minutes after the gathering convened, the school housing the
commemoration was surrounded by police, who requested the immediate
evacuation of the building.
 
The police later announced that an unidentified woman phoned in a bomb
threat to the police.
 
The commemoration was the second major event organized by the Armenian
community of Almaty to be foiled, during the last three years.
