Ultimate Challenge," launched in Yerevan on Wednesday.
Welcoming over 50 scholars, historians and experts from 50 countries
worldwide, Oskanian said that the objective of the conference is to
comprehend the causes of this crime, and to find means for preventing
future genocides.
Catholicos Garegin II, in turn, indicated that for the Armenian people,
it is comforting to know that the Armenian Genocide, perpetrated in
the Ottoman Empire in the beginning of the 20th century, is in the
focus of the international community. "For Turkey too, the recognition
of the Genocide would become a real achievement in human rights and
democracy without which Turkey would have troubles to build a free
and happy life," he added
