The Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHK), Armenian Revolutionary
Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) and Ramkavar-Azatakan (Liberal Democratic)
Party (RAK) issued a statement today.

"This year marks the 95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The
international recognition of the Genocide and the struggle led for
it are of great importance for the values of human civilization and
security of Armenian statehood. The criminals remained unpunished
thus allowing the repetition of similar crimes.

We are determined in our struggle for fair trial and are hopeful
to administer justice. We call on Armenian authorities, public and
political forces, Diaspora structures and all bodies concerned with the
fate of Armenia to unite over pan-national ideas, demonstrate a joint
firm stance and willpower and take real steps in order to solve the
country’s problems and to secure Armenia’s unique place in the world.

We condemn all endeavours aimed at breaking Armenians’ willpower.

Numerous countries have already recognized the Armenian Genocide.

There is no other alternative. With joint efforts and by strengthening
our independent statehood we shall get the whole world including
Turkey to recognize the Genocide. This is the guarantee for security
for the Republic of Armenia and its people," reads the statement.

“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
