is a guarantee for further strengthening of Armenia's security and
defense, defense minister Seyran Ohanyan said today.

that the recognition of the Armenian genocide will become a national
and international guarantees to strengthen our defense capabilities
and security. We need to promote the genocide recognition until it
is recognized by all," he said.
The Armenian people should continue to live and to build a strong
state, Yerevan deputy mayor Kamo Areyan said.
"I hail from a family of people who were forced to leave their homeland
and the first thing that I learned from an early age is that we need
to continue to live and build a strong state to prove everyone that
we can not be wiped off the map," he said.
The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the twentieth century.
