    it will never be repeated in the history."

    Milan Cabrnoch, Co-Chair of the RA-EU Parliamentary Cooperation
    Committee, in his talk with the journalists noted:

    "I am in Armenia for the first time, being in the Genocide Museum
    I am very impressed and I understand that the Armenian Genocide is
    one of the important pages of the History of the Armenian People. I
    am rather informed on the Armenian Genocide, as I was born in former
    Czechoslovakia . The knowledge of the problem is very important for
    us: the deputies of the European Parliament, in order we are able to
    prevent such crimes."

    Slavi Binev, member of the RA-EU Parliamentary Cooperation Committee,
    member of the European Parliament-Turkey Friendship Group, representing
    Bulgaria , in his word mentioned: "In the European Parliament we have
    adopted two declarations on the Armenian Genocide.

    I believe that we have no right to forget our past, our history;
    otherwise we won't have future".

    I believe that in future not only new countries will join the
    declarations on the Armenian Genocide, but also different NGOs,
    which will give a big result."
