On April 24 representatives of the Armenian General Benevolent Union
(AGBU) and the European Grassroots Antiracist Movement (EGAM)
participated in the ceremony of commemoration of the Armenian Genocide
in Istanbul at the invitation of DürDe! (Say Stop to Racism and
Nationalism).
Representatives of the three organizations left Istanbul for Yerevan
to participate in commemoration events in Armenia.
AGBU Europe Board member Nicolas Tavitian, EGAM representative
Benjamin Abtan and member of the Say Stop to Racism and Nationalism
Organization Yildiz Önen shared their impressions with Armenian
journalists today.
Nicolas Tavitian reminded that commemoration events were organized in
Istanbul for the fourth year in a row at the initiative of Turkish
organizations. For the first time European delegations were invited to
participate in the event, he said, assessing it as an important
achievement.
Benjamin Abtan of the European Grassroots Antiracist Movement is ready
to refute the historic words of `who, after all, speaks today of the
annihilation of the Armenians.' He views the steps towards Armenian
Genocide recognition as a struggle against racism.
On behalf of the organization he represents, Benjamin Abtan promised
to launch a struggle for justice not only in European countries, but
also in Turkey.
The speakers said there are clear preconditions for the recognition of
the Armenian Genocide by Turkey in the coming ten years. Their
conviction is based on a number of meetings, discussions and
assessments.
