For the second year thousands of flowers are gathered by volunteers at the Tsitsernakaberd memorial in Yerevan following the ceremony commemorating the victims of mass killings by Ottoman Turks almost 100 years ago. Petals from many of the flowers were gathered and wrapped to be used to make postcards, while the rest are used to fertilize the trees in the area.
