/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Globalization and electronic media enhance the
level of information and increase responsibility, Armenian FM Vartan
Oskanian said at the opening of the first session of the UN Council
on Human Rights in Geneva. "Entering neighbor’s drawing-room is just
as easy as one’s own. Hearing shouts from the adjacent room and not
respond to them is as difficult, as not noting noise in one’s own
home. The current generation can unite time, skills and resources
to create a new and efficient international system, which will enjoy
not only moral authority, but will also be a long-standing defender
of the weak," he remarked.

Oskanian underscored that Armenia has been helping to establish
international mechanisms to prevent Genocide and its causes. "These
causes imply not only "cleansing" of a people, living in its historical
fatherland, but also successful attempts to wipe out such facts
from humanity’s memory," the Minister said, reports the Armenian MFA
Press Service.
