YEREVAN, APRIL 25, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. RA National Assembly
Speaker Artur Baghdasarian sent a message on on the occasion of the
memory day of the Armenian Genocide victims. The message provided
to Noyan Tapan by RA NA Public Relations Department read: “Dear
compatriots, On April 24, the day of memory of the Armenian Genocide
victims, all Armenians and progressive mankind bend their heads before
the memory of 1.5 million innocent victims. The Armenian Genocide is
a crime not only against the Armenian people but also against the
whole mankind and the recognition and condemnation of the Genocide
is important not only for Armenia but also for all countries of the
world. Only through condemnation of such crimes it will be possible
to avoid their recurrence. The number of countries recognizing
and condemning the Armenian Genocide increases year by year, which
speaks about mankind’s realizing their responsibility towards the
generations. Only the realization and condemnation of the crime by the
international community, as well as by the Turkish state can exclude
its recurrence. Parliaments of different countries have adopted laws
and resolutions condemning the Armenian Genocide and we are grateful
to all the countries that support us in this issue. Again we bend our
heads before the memory of the Armenian Genocide victims and address
word of support to our compatriots that have experienced the Genocide”.
