/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `The entire world must recognize the Armenian
Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in 1915, recognize and condemn the genocide
system that made 20th century notorious, starting from Armenians and
Jews. The world must condemn it together, because the 20th century has
demonstrated that humans are animals, not humans,’ stated Head of the
Russian Hermitage Museum, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy
of Sciences (RAS) Mikhail Piotrovsky on March 23, after ceremony at
the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial of victims of the Armenian Genocide in
Yerevan. He said that the Armenian Genocide is a great tragedy that
everybody must learn from. If people resist, Genocide becomes the
moral victory of victims, as became the Armenian Genocide, said
Piotrovsky.
Today Mikhail Piotrovsky along with his son Boris Piotrovsky and
Director of South Caucasian branch of the Caucasian Institute for
Democracy Development Foundation Armenika Kiviryan visited the
Museum-Institute of the Armenian Genocide. Museum Director Lavrenty
Barseghyan familiarized the guests with the history and facts of that
monstrous crime, as well as presented them with literature on the
subject. In his turn M. Piotrovsky left a record in the Book of
Memory, `Blessed memory to all the victims and those annihilated. It
is a horror for all people alive, it cannot be forgotten or
forgiven. Eternal glory to those, who found strength to resist under
those conditions, their death gives hope.’
