RA President Serzh Sargsyan issued an address on occasion of the 95th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

"95 years ago today, April 24, an unprecedented monstrous crime was
committed by the order of the Young Turk government, splitting the
centuries-old Armenian history in two parts – before and after.

Slaughter of one and a half million of Armenians and annihilation
of an ancient culture were the result of the policy masterminded by
the Ottoman state machine. The instigators of this appalling crime
expected that those who survived will lose their national identity,
scattering across the globe. But we were strong enough to revive and
now we thank the countries which support our struggle for justice. The
process of the Armenian Genocide recognition is irreversible. Today,
we bow our heads to the memory of the innocent victims, who entrusted
us to live for the sake of our homeland, our dream and the entire
mankind," the statement says.
