"International recognition of the Armenian Genocide is one of the priorities of the Armenian government. International recognition and commemoration are important not only for condemning the atrocities of the past, but also for the prevention of future genocides, crimes against humanity, ensuring human dignity and security," Ambassador Sos Avetisyan said in the interview.

The Ambassador stressed that Armenia has been the furerunner of the fight against this crime in the international arena for many years, noting that in 2015, December 9 was included in the UN list of International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime.
