Cranston raises Armenian flag

Cranston residents can join that city’s mayor today in a ceremony to mark the 93rd anniversary of what is widely held to have been the beginning of a genocide that eventually killed 1.5 million Armenians in the former Ottoman Empire.

An opening ceremony will begin on the third floor of Cranston City Hall this evening at 6 p.m.

The event will then move outside to the front of City Hall where Mayor Michael Napolitano will raise an Armenian flag.
