PARIS, 17 APRIL, ARMENPRESS. During the television program called
“Stories of French-Armenians”, French-Armenian actor Simon Abgarian
talked about the Armenian Genocide, reflected on his past, the history
of his ancestors and called on Turkey to recognize the crime that it
committed in the early 20th century and turn a new page in its history.

As “Armenpress” reports, Abgarian emphasized that the Armenian
Genocide is like a wound that never heals and doesn’t allow one to
forget what has happened. “The wound is still open. It’s impossible
to forget the pain, and it has to remind the future generations,
including the Turks about what happened 100 years ago. It has to
remind them so that such events never happen again,” Abgarian said.

Talking about Turkey, the actor placed emphasis on the future
and stressed the fact that Turkey’s modern society and generation
acknowledge what their ancestors did.

“The events taking place today show that we have to learn the lessons
from the past because only be condemning will we be able to prevent
future crimes against humanity,” the French-Armenian actor mentioned.
