PanARMENIAN.Net - U.S. President Barack Obama's remarks at the United
States Holocaust Memorial Museum on the eve of the 97th anniversary
of the Armenian Genocide reminds about the importance of learning
from the lessons of the past and thus give true meaning to the words
"never again," the Armenian Assembly of America (AAA) said.
"As we mark the anniversary of the Holocaust, the Armenian Assembly of
America stands in solidarity with the Jewish people by remembering the
victims, paying tribute to the survivors, and rededicating ourselves
to genocide affirmation, education and prevention," emphasized Assembly
Executive Director Bryan Ardouny.
Introduced by Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie
Wiesel, the U.S. President highlighted the fact that "preventing mass
atrocities and genocide is a core national security interest and a
core moral responsibility of the United States," and that awareness
without action changes nothing.
Wiesel, who has also consistently recognized the Armenian Genocide,
reiterated the importance of prevention, and stated that one of the
greatest tragedies of the Holocaust was that it was preventable.
