RA president Robert Kocharyan turned to Armenians with the following
message: ‘Every year, on April 24 we commemorate the victims of the
Armenian Genocide at the Ottoman Empire though the memory of the
crime is eternal in our souls.’

Many countries remember and commemorate this day together with us. The
world has cognised the fact that Genocide is not only a crime towards a
nation but also towards the whole mankind. The denial and the disguise
of the crime are even worse than the preparation and the execution
of it.

The sense of ordeal and injustice has the attribute of unification. The
horrible Genocide strengthened the identity of an Armenian, unified the
Armenian people, and empowered the desire for an independent state. The
Republic of Armenia should prosper and develop as a Fatherland of
Armenians in all over the world. It is the powerful, democratic,
civilized Armenia that should be the respond to those who planned,
executed and denied the Armenian Genocide.’
