    Minister urges Armenians to seek acknowledgment of genocide
    25/04/2004 20:44:01

    Armenians should continue their endeavour to seek acknowledgment of
    the 1915 genocide of their people by Turkey, Interior, Public
    Administration and Decentralisation Minister Prokopis Pavlopoulos
    said on Sunday.

    Attending a commemoration event for the genocide, Pavlopoulos said
    that the international community should move in the same direction,
    exercising greater pressure on Turkey's leaders.

    Parliament speaker Anna Psarouda-Benaki said that forgetfulness about
    the issue should be combatted, regardless of whether it stemmed from
    ignorance or expediency, in order to help avert other instances.

    The event to commemorate the Armenian genocide was arranged under the
    aegis of Athens prefecture authorities.
