Amnesie Internationale organization has taken place in the French city
of Marseilles. The organization is aimed at resisting the policy of
denying the genocides of the 20th century. Fccording to NKR MFA Press
Service, along with some intelligentsia and art representatives, NKR
Permanent Representative to France Hovhannes Gevorkian participated
in the event.
Making a speech during the round-table discussions, Hovhannes Gevorkian
dwelt on the mass massacres in the Azerbaijani town of Sumgait in 1988,
noting that having avoided any corresponding assessment by the Soviet
authorities or the international community, similar atrocities spread
over to the Azerbaijani towns populated by Armenians, later growing
into a wide-scale war against Nagorno Karabakh.
He noted that political condemnation of genocides and mass massacres
would prevent new tragedies.
