YEREVAN, APRIL 24, ARMENPRESS: A group of young people has burnt
the Turkish flag in Armenian populated Nor Gyugh district of Aleppo,
expressing their protest against the denial policy of Turkey regarding
the recognition of Armenian Genocide. Armenpress was informed from
Press Secretary of the Armenian National Prelacy Jirair Reisian.
"Armenian Genocide victims' commemoration ceremony is taking place
at the moment in Aghajanian Hall with participation of Armenian
community. In Nor Gyugh district a group of young people had an
opportunity to show their protest against Turkey, burning the flag
of the country," Reisian said, underlining it was a preplanned event
and that youth made it on its initiation.
He also informed that events dedicated to 98th anniversary of Armenian
Genocide had been concluded in Aleppo. On April 24 all Armenian shops
and workplaces have been closed, in order to respect the memory of
the victims of Armenian Genocide.
The crime committed against Armenians in 1915 was the first Genocide
of 20th century. The fact of the Armenian Genocide by the Ottoman
government has been documented, recognized, and affirmed in the form
of media and eyewitness reports, laws, resolutions, and statements by
many states and international organizations. The complete catalogue
of all documents categorizing the 1915 wholesale massacre of the
Armenian population in Ottoman Empire as a premeditated and thoroughly
executed act of genocide is extensive. Uruguay was the first country
to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide in 1965. The massacres
of the Armenian people were officially condemned and recognized as
genocide in accordance with the international law by France, Germany,
Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Russia, Poland,
Lithuania, Greece, Slovakia, Cyprus, Lebanon, Uruguay, Argentina,
Venezuela, Chile, Canada, Vatican, and Australia.
