YEREVAN, OCTOBER 23, ARMENPRESS: Serzh Sargsyan has given an interview
to The New York Times, Armenpress reports. "We believe that the whole
of mankind should be consistent in the recognition, condemnation and
exclusion of denialism of this crime of crimes, Serzh Sragsyan says
in an interview with The New York Times.
"This is our message to the international community, including
the government and society of the United States, on the eve of
the centenary of the Armenian genocide. The Armenian genocide is
an indisputable fact, documented by the international community
when it provided refuge to the hundreds of thousands of Armenians
that fled the massacres carried out by the Ottoman Empire. Today,
even educated circles of Turkish society have reconciled with their
own past, opposing the official denialist position of their state,"
Serzh Sargsyan states.
According to Serzh Sargsyan, the commemoration of the 100th anniversary
of the Armenian genocide is an important step toward its international
recognition and condemnation, but it is not an endpoint.
It marks a new beginning in the context of joint efforts to prevent
history repeating itself.
