International Criminal Court (ICC) Luis Moreno-Ocampo who had arrived
in Yerevan in order to attend the 37th forum of the International

Welcoming the guest, S. Sargsyan said: "The fact that people,
who take an active part and have wide experience of human rights
defence and condemnation of crimes against humanity, have arrived
in Armenia is of great importance to us," adding that "naturally,
in recent period there has been much talk about one of the cruelest
crimes against humanity – the Armenian Genocide". L. Moreno-Ocampo
said that their activities are aimed at protecting human rights,
and the prevention of future genocides is one of their primary goals.

The press service of the Armenian president reported that S. Sargsyan
