/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Union of Martyr Nations bringing together
organizations of nations, which were subjected to genocide in the
Ottoman Empire in the 19th and 20th centuries, was founded in Yerevan
today.
Union co-chairman Avetis Kalayjian said the purpose of the formation
is to struggle for recognition of genocides of nations which once
inhabited the Ottoman Empire.
"Our joint work will produce more effect. Initially, the union will
include Assyrian, Greek, Kurd, Yezid and Armenian organizations
dealing with the Armenian Genocide recognition issue. In outlook, we
plan cooperation with local and foreign organizations," he said. "One
of the Union’s goals is informing of the international community of
the genocides at the hands of Turks, who mislead the whole world by
publishing numerous books and organizing exhibitions. We must spare
no effort to prevent circulation of lies."
"We must inform the international community of Turkey’s crimes to
prevent their repetition in future," said chairman of the Yerevan
Greek Union Frunzik Nikolaidi, Novosti Armenia reports.
