Khachkar to the Armenian Genocide to be erected in Rome

The 20nd district of the City Council of Rome unanimously approved a resolution for erection of a Khachkar commemorating the Armenian Genocide. Already, on May 4, 2006, at the initiative of architect Vahed Vartanian and under the patronage of the City Hall of Rome, a commemorative plate had been placed on the Milvio bridge on the occasion of triple twinning between the bridges Allahverdi-Kan (Isfahan-Iran), Sanahin bridge (Alaverdi - Armenia) and Milvio bridge (Rome - Italy). According to certain writings, King Trdat III and Holy Grigor the Illuminator crossed the Milvio Bridge 300 after Jesus-Christ to carry to Rome their Christian testimony.
