/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Jewish community of Armenia urges Jewish
organizations of the world to express their civil position in the
issue of recognition of the Armenian Genocide. The address of the
Jewish community of Armenia to Jewish organizations of the world
accentuates that monstrous outrage of Ottoman Turkey against its
citizens annihilated 1.5 million Armenians. The fact fell into
oblivion for many decades and was not denounced by the humanity.
Holocaust might have not happened if the world in its time united
against this atrocity, as it is fighting against terror now. No
political or economic interests should hamper recognition of human
tragedies, the document says. According to the report, the issue of
recognition of the Armenian Genocide is by no means directed against
the Turkish people. Quite the contrary – it will raise the opinion of
the civilized world about them, as it was in the case of Germany,
which had recognized the fact of the Nazi state annihilating 6
million Jews. `On the eve of the Commemoration Day of the Genocide
victims we address those, who are not indifferent towards recognition
of the historical truth and ask to pay homage to the memory of those
victims,’ the address says.
