YEREVAN, APRIL 24, ARMENPRESS: April 24 is an important date
for the Armenians of the world. This was stated by the Ambassador
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of France to the Republic of Armenia
Henri Reynaud at the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial, adding that this day
of remembrance is quite important for all the Armenians living in
France as well. "Between Armenia and France we have strong friendly
relations. And the role of the Armenian community in this issue is
great", - said Henri Reynaud.
The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Switzerland to
the Republic of Armenia Konstantin Obolensky reported to Armenpress,
that coming to the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial and commemorating the
innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide is a very important and
emotional moment for him.
On April 24 it is the 98th anniversary of the remembrance of the
innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide. On the international
political level it will be clearer, what developments to expect
from the capitals of the world before the 100th anniversary in the
recognition and condemnation issues of the Armenian Genocide, which
occurred in 1915 and to what results the Armenia's policy might bring.
The entire series of the documents, proving the fact of the mass
massacres of the Armenian people in 1915-1923 in the Ottoman Turkey
as a premeditated and thoroughly executed act of genocide, is enormous.
The Armenian Genocide was recognized by different organizations, such
as the European Council, the European Parliament, some commission of
the UN Organization, the World Church Union, etc.
The Armenian Genocide was recognized by many states. The first
country to officially recognize the Armenian Tragedy was Uruguay in
1965. The massacres of the Armenian people were officially condemned
and recognized as a genocide, in accordance with the international
law, by France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland,
Sweden, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Greece, Slovakia, Cyprus, Lebanon,
Uruguay, Argentina (2 laws and 5 draft bills), Venezuela, Chile,
Canada, Vatican, and Australia.
