ArmInfo. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, in his report at the Munich Security Conference, referred to the Armenian Genocide without using the term "genocide".   In particular, he noted that Egypt, 100 years ago, received and  sheltered Armenians who survived a massacre.

The Egyptian Committee  "Hay Dat" considers the presidential statement a prerequisite for the  further recognition of the Armenian Genocide. "Despite the fact that  the President of Egypt did not use the term" genocide ", however, he  took the first step in this direction," the message says.

The Aydat Committee of Egypt welcomed the step taken by the  President, taking it as a positive response from a key player in the  Middle East and North Africa and a promise to join the Armenian civil  initiative to ban and prevent future genocides.
