President of the Republic of Cyprus, Demetris Christofias, visited
Tsitsernakaberd today and laid a wreath at the memorial to the Armenian
Genocide victims.

"I feel regret, pain and anger seeing all this, seeing what the Young
Turks have done to Armenians. It’s the duty of the international
community to recognize and condemn the Armenian Genocide. Cyprus
has always supported and will support the Armenian people in the
process of recognition of the Armenian Genocide," the President of
Cyprus wrote down in the Commemoration Book of the Armenian Genocide
Museum-Institute.

President Christofias planted a fir tree in the Memorial Alley in
memory of the innocent victims of the genocide.
