TO EXPRESS THEIR CIVIL POSITIONS ON ISSUE OF RECOGNIZING ARMENIAN
GENOCIDE IN 1915 IN OTTOMAN TURKEY
YEREVAN, MARCH 16. ARMINFO. The Jewish community of Armenia appeals to
the Jewish organizations all over the world to express their civil
positions on issue of recognizing Armenian Genocide in 1915 in Ottoman
Turkey.

perpetrated monstrous crime against citizens of its country, inflicted
reprisals, annihilated 1,5 mln Armenians. This fact were consigned to

together against that atrocity, as it stands on the fight against
terrorism. No political or economical interests should prevent
recognizing tragedies common to all mankind, the document says.
In opinion of appeal's authors, the issue of recognizing Armenian
Genocide in no way directed against Turkish people, and quite the
contrary, it will raise the country in opinion of civilization, as it
was in case of Germany acknowledged the fact of extirpation of 6 mln
Jews by the Nazi state. "On the eve of the Memorial Day of Genocide
victims April 24 we appeal to those who are not indifferent to the
acknowledgment of historical truth, and asked to bow down before the
memory of these victims", the appeal says. -r-
