On May 29, 2015, the first 1915 Armenian Genocide memorial was opened in Sweden, in the city of Örebro.

When serving as a MP in the Swedish Parliament, Murad Artin, from the Left Party in Örebro, initiated the process to get Sweden to recognize the genocide of Armenians, Assyrians, Syriacs, Chaldeans and Pontic Greeks in the Ottoman Empire.

“The Left Party in Örebro and I proposed a motion of a memorial in 2007. Many years have passed, but it is a great honor to participate in the inauguration of the memorial,” said Murad Artin who is of Armenian origin.

On the inaugural day, the memorial was visited by   Armenian ambassador, Artak Apitonian, the Patriarch of the Syriac Orthodox Church Moran Mor Ignatius Aphrem II, Governor of Örebo County Maria Larson and City Council President of Örebro Agneta Blom.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
