A tribute for the Argentine-Armenians that were victims of the Dirty
War in Argentina was held during the afternoon of Saturday 18 April.
The “desaparecidos” (“disappeared”) of Armenian origin were remembered
in a memorial tile inside a square in Buenos Aires, that also showed
the scarf of Madres de Plaza de Mayo, symbol of the fight against the
terrorist state, and the Tsitsernakaberd.
The event was attended by one of the founders of Madres de Plaza de
Mayo, Nora Cortiñas, along with National Deputy Horacio Pietragalla,
Deputy Maria Rachid and head of the National Institute Against
Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism, Pedro Mouradian. The activity
was conducted by Armenian Cultural Union and Memory Palermo. One of
the speakers recalled the story of Soghomon Tehlirian. “It’s hard to
see a Turkish government that refuses to recognize the cruel reality
that was the Armenian Genocide”, said Horacio Pietragalla in his
speech.
“We embrace again the same principles that took Argentina in terms of
memory, truth and justice. It is even more significant for being the
centennial of the Armenian Genocide,” said Pedro Mouradian.
