Recognition of the fact of the Armenian Genocide has great importance
for the Armenian people and the entire world, so that such incidents
can be avoided all through history, stated Distinguished Singer of
Ukraine, public activist Irina Skazina.
`The 20th century's first genocide, which resulted in the deaths of
nearly two million Armenians, was organized and carried out by the
Young Turk government,' the singer told Analitika.at.ua, and added:
`The mass killings, beating, and rape of the Armenians in [the
Azerbaijani cities of] Sumgait and in Baku, which the chauvinist mobs
perpetrated under the connivance of the government and law enforcement
agencies of Azerbaijan, likewise are acts of genocide. The organizers
and perpetrators of these acts must be held to account as
international criminals.
`In both cases, the genocide of the Armenians was carried out in
response to the attempts by the self-determination-striving Armenians
to restore [their] rights in the God-granted territory and to reunite
[their] homeland.'
