Yerevan, July 11, Armenpress: The delegation led by the Chairman of
the Federation Council Assembly of the Russian Federation, Valentina
Matviyenko, visited Tsitsernakaberd to commemorate the victims of
the Armenian genocide. The high-ranking guest laid a wreath at the
memorial and with a minute silence respected the memory of the victims
of the genocide, Armenpress reports.
The Armenian genocide was the greatest crime against humanity and
the greatest tragedy for the Armenians, noted Valentina Matviyenko
at the course of the briefing with the journalists. "It was a crime
against humanity and civilization. No matter how many centuries
pass, such crimes can never be forgotten not to be repeated again",
Valentina Matviyenko noted adding that it was a right decission by
the Armenians to build such a memorial dedicated to the innocent
victims. "As far as the memory lives, such things will never happen
again", noted Valentina Matviyenko.
The Chairman of the Federation Council visited the Genocide
Museum-Institute, got acquainted with the exhibits of the previous
century's greatest humanity crime. She wrote in the Book of records
and condemned Turkey's crime. In the end she watered the tree she
had planted in the "Memory garden" during her previous visit.
More than two dozen countries, more than 40 USA states, different
cities, international organizations, including the European Parliament
and the world Council of Churches have recognized and sentenced
the Armenian genocide. On June 18, 1987, the European Parliament
truly assessed the 20th century's greatest crime: according to the
convention of "Prevention and Punishment of Genocide" admitted by
the UN General Assembly on December 9, 1948, the tragic events taken
place in 1915-1917 against the Armenians in the territory of Ottaman
Empire are called Genocide.
