Yerevan, April 24. /ARKA/. Russia supports the Armenian people in
the issue of the Armenian Genocide, RF Ambassador to Armenia Nikolay
Pavlov told reporters.

According to him, Russia’s approach to the problem is clear: the
country recognized and condemned the Armenian Genocide.

“Arrangements and processions in memory of the victims of 1915 have
been organized in different Russian cities, conferences were held
a few days ago and books on the Armenian Genocide were published,”
Pavlov said.

The Armenian Genocide, the first genocide of the 20th century, was
organized and put into practice by the Government of Young Turks in
Western Armenia, then part of the Ottoman Empire. Over 1.5mln Armenians
were slaughtered. The Armenian Genocide has been recognized by many
countries.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
