ArmInfo FIDH’s 37th Congress pays tribute to the memory of the victims
of the Armenian Genocide and salutes the efforts of its member
organisations in Armenia and in Turkey (Civil Society Institute (CSI,
Armenia), Human Rights Association (IHD, Turkey) and Human Rights
Foundation of Turkey (HRFT, Turkey)) and brings its full support to
the joint Declaration that they have concluded in the context of the
37th FIDH Congress, including perspectives for actions identified in
the Declaration.

Afterwards, FIDH President Souyer Belassen said in a press conference
that Yerevan has become the capital of human rights for 4 days, since
human rights defenders from 155 human rights federations worldwide
have gathered in the capital of Armenia. She also highlighted the
importance of the meeting of Armenian and Turkish human rights
defenders who got a good opportunity to discuss the issues of mutual
interest vis-a-vis.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
