Armenian Jews call for Armenian Genocide recognition
23.03.2005Â Â
YEREVAN (YERKIR) – The Jewish community of Armenia called the Jewish
organizations around the globe to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
The Ottoman Turkey killed 1.5 million of its Armenian citizens,
and for decades, the humankind has not condemned this fact, reads
the appeal, adopted by the congress of the Armenian Jews.
“The Holocaust may have been avoided if the world had united against
this brutality as it does now to fight terror,” the appeal states,
adding that no political or economic interest should become an obstacle
for recognition of this tragedy.
The appeal also stresses that the recognition of the Genocide is not
directed against the Turkish people. “In fact, it would only elevate
them in the eyes of the civilized world as it was the case with
Germany which admitted to the killings of 6 million Jews under Nazis.”
