BUENOS AIRES (Prensa Armenia)--The legislative council of Buenos
Aires, Argentina's capital city, issued Thursday a statement, written
by councilmembers Virginia Gonzalez Gass and Maria Raquel Herrero,
commemorating April 24 as the "Day of the First Genocide of the 20th
Century," on the "99th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide."
The council also approved a proposal submitted by legislator Pablo
Ferreyra asking the Ministry of Education to allocate proper attention
to the Armenian Genocide on the "day of action for tolerance and
respect between people," referring to an Argentinian law that
commemorates the genocide suffered by the Armenian people every
April 24.
"To educate about history is to educate for the respect and protection
of human rights. In this sense, it is essential to promote the
inclusion of the issue of genocide in education, not only to remember
but also to consider the conditions that made possible such abhorrent
and savage events," said Ferreyra in a press statement.
