/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "It’s not enough for the Turkish government to
conceal the truth from its own people.

The denial campaign has run up to blocking an exhibition on the Rwanda
Genocide," Armenian Acting Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said when
commenting on postponement of UN exhibit on the Rwanda Genocide by
Turkey’s demand.

The exhibit on the 13th anniversary of the Rwanda genocide has been
delayed after Turkish objections to a mention of the killing of
Armenians in Turkey during World War I. Turkey objected to a sentence
in which lawyer Rafael Lemkin states that such mass killings are
described as genocide.

Vartan Oskanian said Rafael Lemkin’s work is a part of international
protocols and world history. "It’s inadmissible for a UN member state,
which undertook to maintain world peace, to demonstrate intolerance
in the United Nations Organizations. Armenia cannot resign to the fact
that the world history, sufferings of the people of Rwanda and Darfur,
the memory of the Armenian people are subjected to cold-blooded and
cynical neglect. It’s shameful that the postponement refers to an event
aiming at protection of human rights and genocide prevention. We can
witness complete absence of respect for history and historical memory
instead," Oskanian said, the RA MFA press office reports.

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
