/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian President Robert Kocharian issued an address
over the 92nd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman
Empire in 1915, the RA leader’s press office reports. The statement
says, in part, "Each year on April 24 we commemorate the innocent
victims of the Armenian Genocide. The memory about his crime lives
eternally in our hearts. Many states of the world join the Armenian
people on this mourning day. The international community has come
to understand that Genocide is a crime not only against one nation
but also against the whole humanity. It’s a crime, denial of which
is no less dangerous than its preparation and perpetration. Ordeals
and injustice unite people. Tragedy of the Genocide strengthened the
Armenian self-consciousness, united the Armenianhood and cemented
the aspiration to independent state system. The Republic of Armenia
should prosper and develop and the homeland of the whole Armenianhood.
Strong, democratic and flourishing Armenia should become a response
of the Armenian people to those who planned and perpetrated but still
keep on denying the Genocide."
