More than 50 people attended a memorial service at the Armenian Apostolic Church in Gagra on April 24, in memory of the Armenian Genocide victims, Levon Galustyan, a member of the Abkhazian parliament, told Sputnik Radio, Sputnik-Georgia reports.

"People had come with the call of their soul," he added, in particular.

According to Galustyan, Armenian Genocide’s recognition is necessary so that such events never happen again. "There is hope in the heart of every Armenian and sound thinker that one day this historic event will be recognized in Turkey," he said. "The Hamshen Armenians living in Abkhazia, including my family, are the direct descendants of the victims of the genocide in the Ottoman Empire."

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
