YEREVAN, 11 APRIL, ARMENPRESS. Italians will never forget about
Armenia and the Armenians again. This was the impression that Honorary
Consul of the Republic of Armenia in Milan Pietro Kuciukian got as he
participated in the re-placement of the remains (skull) of Gregory the
Illuminator and the church ceremony on the occasion of the blessing of
the cross-stone dedicated to the Armenian Genocide Centennial in
Naples. “This event served as another occasion to let Italians know
about the Armenians again, and the Italians will remember the
spiritual and cultural values of Armenia for a long time,” the
Honorary Consul said in an interview with “Armenpress”.
After the church ceremony in Naples, President of the Republic of
Armenia Serzh Sargsyan granted the Movses Khorenatsi Medal to the
Honorary Consul for his notable contributions to the recognition of
the Armenian Genocide, for the strengthening of Armenian-Italian
friendly relations, as well as for his pro-Armenian activities in
society and politics. The medal is binding and encouraging, and the
Honorary Consul is preparing to continue to let the world know about
the Armenian Genocide with new stories about the Ottomans who helped
the Armenians, even by risking their lives and being called traitors
and killed by the Ottoman Turks for that. He has a series of works
dedicated to the benefactors and missionaries of American, French,
German, Austrian and other nationalities who extended a helping hand
to the Armenians during the years of the Armenian Genocide.
