    RA NA SPEAKER VISITS KRAKOW AND OSWIECIM

    NOYAN TAPAN
    APRIL 23, 2009
    YEREVAN

    RA National Assembly Speaker Hovik Abrahamian, who arrived in Krakow
    on April 22 within the framework of an official visit to Poland,
    had a meeting with Malopolski Governor Jerzy Miller and Krakow
    local authorities, during which he said that contacts between RA and
    Polish regional government and local self-government bodies should
    be encouraged.

    The same day the Armenian delegation left for Oswiecim and visited the
    Memorial Complex-Museum of Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp. H.

    Abrahamian laid a wreath in token of respect for the memory of victims
    of the tragedy at that concentration camp.

    After getting acquainted with the history of Auschwitz-Birkenau
    Concentration Camp H. Abrahamian said: "I am just shocked. Nearly
    one million people were killed at that camp. They were exterminated
    by industrial methods. The reason was only that they were people of
    another nationality. I condemn the tragedy of the Jewish Holocaust. We
    will commemorate the Armenian Genocide victims on April 24. I once
    more made sure that if the Armenian Genocide were condemned in the
    whole world in its time, maybe that tragedy would not recur in the
    years of World War II."

    According to the RA NA Public Relations Department, the delegation led
    by H. Abrahamian is returning to Yerevan in the evening of April 23.
