Mikhail Piotrovsky: `The entire world must recognize the Armenian
Genocide in Ottoman Turkey'
`The entire world must recognize the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman
Turkey in 1915, recognize and condemn the genocide system that made
20th century notorious, starting from Armenians and Jews. And the
world must condemn it together, because the 20th century has
demonstrated that humans are animals, not humans,' stated Head of the
Russian Hermitage Museum, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy
of Sciences (RAS) Mikhail Piotrovsky on March 23, after ceremony at
the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial of victims of the Armenian Genocide in
Yerevan.
He said that the Armenian Genocide is a great tragedy that everybody
must learn from. If people resist, Genocide becomes the moral victory
of victims, as became the Armenian Genocide, said Piotrovsky.
Piotrovsky, along with Director of South Caucasian branch of the
Caucasian Institute for Democracy Development Foundation Armenika
Kiviryan visited Museum-Institute of the Armenian Genocide, where he
left a record in the Book of Memory.
Mikhail Piotrovsky is in Yerevan since March 21. He was invited by
the Caucasian Institute for Democracy. He has already read a course
of lectures in Yerevan State University and Russian-Armenian (Slavic)
University. In the framework of the visit he met All Armenian
Catholicos Garegin II, President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan. Also, a
meeting with Minister of Culture Gevork Gevorkyan is planned.
