YEREVAN, DECEMBER 14, ARMENPRESS: The Senate of Argentina has endorsed
a bill passed earlier by its parliament designating April 24 as
the Day of Tolerance and Respect Among Nations. The date- April 24-
was chosen in memory of the Armenian Genocide.

The bill had been approved by the lower house by a vote of 175 to 2
on November 29. The Armenian National Committee of South America said
the bill will be sent to the approval of the president of the country.

Turkish foreign ministry condemned the approval of this resolution,
saying in a statement that ‘Argentina’s move did not comply with
historical facts and spirit of bilateral relations between Turkey
and Argentina."

Emil Lazarian: “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
