Dear compatriots,
Today, our whole people once again pays tribute to the memory of the
victims of the Armenian Genocide planned and committed at the beginning
of the 20th century by the Ottoman Empire. Year by year the number of
the countries, which, recognizing and condemning that heinous crime,
not only express their support to our people, but also affirm their
responsibility for the destiny of the civilization and mankind,
and ensure that the moral values are beyond diverse political group
interests and small-minded calculations for them.
Bowing our heads before the memory of the Armenian Genocide victims,
we should not only pursue with resolute consistency the unconditional
recognition of one of the gravest events in the mankind’s history,
but we should also strengthen our two Armenian countries with our
unity and work as the best monument of the victims’ memory and one
of the most important guarantees of the secure and dignified life of
our compatriots living in the Motherland and Diaspora.
