`Dear compatriots,

When the whole Armenian nation in Motherland and Diaspora is
commemorating the Armenian Genocide victims, we again bow before the
memory of our innocent victims. This unprecedented crime prepared and
perpetrated by Ottoman Turkey was not prevented 92 years ago, was not
recognized and denounced in proper time, thus paving the way for the
reoccurrence of similar crimes.

The condemnation of the Armenian Genocide is not the problem of the
Armenian people only, since the genocide is a crime against humanity.

Today we express our sincere gratitude to those countries,
organizations and individuals that support us in our struggle to
prevent and condemn the crimes against humanity.

We struggle for the sake of humanity and the memory of the victims of
all genocides. We fight to prevent reoccurrence of similar crimes.

Today we commemorate also the editor-in-chief of the Agos weekly Hrnat
Dink and express our support to Turkish intellectuals and individuals
striving for historic truth.

Dear compatriots, the issue of recognition and condemnation of the
Armenian Genocide is on our foreign policy agenda. We remember our
history, but Armenia is moving forward, aspiring to establish normal
relations with all its neighbors. Armenia is moving forward,
decisively building a civilized, developed and democratic state.’
