“We express our utter solidarity with friendly Armenian people as
well as with our Syrian Armenian compatriots who were subject to a
horrible genocide committed by Ottoman authorities 100 years ago. The
international community and all peoples in the world call on standing
side by side to confront the criminals, executioners and terrorists
threatening the Middle East in order to prevent other atrocities
against the mankind, civilization and history.”
