/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The opening of the Armenian-Turkish border and the
existence of the `route map’ cannot prevent the Armenians from calling
for the recognition of Genocide and reinstatement of historical
justice, ,’ Catholicos of Cilician Patriarchate Aram I said.

On April 24, thousand of Lebanese Armenians gathered near the memorial
in Anthilias to pay tribute to the victims of Genocide. After the
liturgy served in the Armenian church, the ceremony participant headed
towards the eternal flame. In his address, Catholicos Aram I first
reiterated his firm determination on the recognition of Genocide. `We
are grateful to all the countries which have recognized the Armenian
Genocide, but insist at the same time that recognition is not
enough. We do not beg mercy. We demand justice and have the right to
do so,’ Aram I said. According to the religious primate, neither route
maps nor official visits are enough for reinstating justice.
