Around 3000 people participated in the Armenian Genocide memorial rally
held in Moscow on April 24 on the initiative of the Russian-Armenian
Commonwealth and the Union of Armenians of Russia.

Deputy chairman of the Russian State Duma, leader of the LDPR Vladimir
Zhirinovsky, MPs Maxim Mischenko (United Russia) and Kira Lukyanova
(Just Russia), heads of national communities, representatives of
public and youth organizations were present.

"Recognition of the Armenian Genocide is a universal issue and we
should combine efforts to seek historical justice," UAR president
Ara Abrahamyan said in his opening remarks.

For his part, president of the Russian-Armenian Commonwealth Yuri
Navoyan emphasized that neighborly relations between Armenia and
Turkey can be established only in case if the latter acknowledges
the fact of Genocide.

"Functioning as a united force, Armenia, Arstakh and Diaspora can prove
that Armenians will never let anyone infringe their rights," he said.

"This day can never be forgotten. We share in the pain of the Armenian
people," said Dmitry Gudkov, the leader of Young Socialists of Russia.

"The Armenian Genocide is the most appalling crime in the history of
humanity," stated Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

"We want peace and neighborly relations but there can’t be trust
without repentance," remarked Levon Mukanyan, vice president of the
Union of Armenians of Russia.
