hosted an event commemorating 97th anniversary of 1915 Armenian
Genocide in Ottoman Empire.
The event hosted Armenian Ambassador to Russia Oleg Yesayan,
Russian and Armenian politicians, public figures, representatives of
intellectual elite.
"Armenians worldwide are bowing their heads in memory of 1,5 million
of Genocide victims. For 97 years, Armenians have been struggling
for recognition of the crime against humanity, and will continue
the struggle to achieve acknowledgement of the Genocide. This is the
sacred debt of our people to those who were massacred along with our
motherland and culture," the Ambassador stressed.
"Every year, Turkey sees increased number of Genocide recognition
supporters. When the past is pressuring the present, the future
becomes unforeseeable. This is why Turkey, even more than Armenia,
needs Genocide recognition."
A Russian parliamentarian Boris Reznik, in turn, stressed the friendly
ties between Armenia and Russia, noting that Moscow recognized the
Genocide in 1915 as a crime against humanity.
The chairman of the Union of the Armenians in Russia Ara Abramyan urged
his compatriots to join efforts for Genocide recognition campaign.
Russian-Armenian Commonwealth NGO chairman Yuri Navoyan, called
for a new wave of protests against Turkey on the threshold of 100th
anniversary of Armenian Genocide.
