YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 19, ARMENPRESS. The Armenian Apostolic Church
will introduce a number of significant initiatives along with the
sister churches on the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in
Etchmiadzin and worldwide. "Armenpress" News Agency had a conversation
regarding this and the upcoming event with His Eminence Archbishop
Hovnan Derderian, the Primate of the Western Diocese of the Armenian
Church of North America. "The row of events dedicated to the 100th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide is vast and comprehensive. But
the most noteworthy and significant from the historical viewpoint
is the ceremony of canonization of the Armenian Genocide victims,
which will be held in Holy Etchmiadzin on April 23.
This ceremony is of a certain importance, as the heads of our sister
churches and other religious institutions have been invited to the
event," Archbishop Hovnan Derderian noted.
Among other things, His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, the
Primate of the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church of North America,
underscored: "The visit of the Pope of Rome to Armenia is also of a
great importance, as we all are aware that the whole world will react
at this event."
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.
