ArmInfo. In 2010 the Armenians scattered all over the world mark the
95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and recall to the world
once again that this was a crime against the humanity and the culprits
should be condemned, says the statement of the Assembly of Armenians
of Europe.
The first pages of XX century were written with the blood of Armenians
subjected to the Genocide in 1915. 95 years later, in XXI century the
humanity has not yet managed to prove its civility by condemning this
inhuman crime. At the beginning of XXI century Armenian people still
have to carry this burden upon their shoulders, fighting and hoping
for the justice to triumph at last, the statement says.
The authors of the statement point out that the Ottoman Turks
deprived Armenian people of their historic motherland, killed 1.5
mln Armenians, and robbed them. The historical and legal assignees
of Ottoman Turkey are still denying the crime of their ancestors and
propagating similar ideology. 95 years later they are threatening
to deport Armenians illegally living in Turkey by means of the same
policy and psychology. Ankara is striving to demonstrate to the world
that it can have normal and friendly relations with all its neighbors;
however, at the same time it blockades Armenia.
Using the process of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations,
Turkey tried to cause discord in Armenian people over the past
two years and break the unity of Armenian people in the matter
of the Armenian Genocide. Ankara is trying to call on the Armenian
authorities to influence Diaspora for the latter to stop its activity
related to international recognition of the Armenian Genocide. The
authors of the statement point out that today the whole progressive
humanity, including Turkish intellectuals and scientists, support
Armenians in their fight for international recognition of the Armenian
Genocide. Though the Turkish intellectuals supporting Armenians are
few, but they ignore the threats of the Turkish fascist regime and
demand recognizing the Armenian Genocide and restoring the justice.
The Assembly of Armenians of Europe calls on Armenians worldwide
to unite their potential in the fair fight for recognition of the
Armenian Genocide and restoring the usurped rights.
