YEREVAN (YERKIR) - Secretary Genereal of the International European
Movement Henrik H. Kroner visited Armenian Genocide Memorial on
Tuesday to pay homage to the victims of the Armenian Genocide.
Mr. Kroner was accompanied by Victor Yengibarian, head of the
organization's mission to Armenia, and Kiro Manoyan, director of the
ARF Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office.
In the book of the Genocide Musem Kroner inscribed: "Let's hope no
such genocide will take place again in Europe and world. And the
European values are the guarantees of our unification."
Speaking to journalists Kroner said it is a shame this crime has not
been recognized thus far. "The Euoropean Union has been established to
avoid such tragedies in the future. I think Turkey will never become
a EU member unless it admits its past. The process has just begun
and will take long years. Ankara will have to admit it in the end,"
Kroner said.
Kiro Manoyan, director of the ARF Bureau's Hay Dat and Political
Affairs Office, said deserves a thank-you to an extent because it
was due to its denialist policy that the Armenian Genocide issue was
raised and Turkey came under criticism.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Kroner met with ARF Supreme Body of Armenia
representative Armen Rustamian at the Simon Vratsian Center in
Yerevan. The parties discussed the International European Movement's
programs regarding Armenia's integration in Europe.
