    Armenian Genocide exhibition opens in Cyprus

    Theme: Politics, Society


    An exhibition devoted to the Armenian Genocide opened Friday in
    Nicosia, the capital city of Cyprus.

    Visiting Armenian National Assembly (NA) President Galust Sahakyan,
    and Cypriot House of Representatives President Yiannakis Omirou
    delivered opening remarks at the event.

    Sahakyan noted that Armenian Genocide Centennial commemorations are
    held in numerous cities around the world. In his words, however, these
    functions are not solely remembrance events, and they incorporate
    several directions, whose synopsis has become the slogan: "I remember
    and I demand." As per the NA speaker, this slogan is a universal
    message to condemn the Armenian Genocide and all genocides that were
    ever perpetrated.

    Omirou, for his part, noted that the civilized world is not apathetic
    toward the horrible crimes against humanity, and the international
    press had condemned Turkey's respective demeanor even back in the last
    decade of the 19th century. He added that Cyprus likewise was not
    indifferent toward the tragedy of the Armenian people.

    The head of the parliament of Cyprus also noted that his country
    supports the fraternal Armenian people's efforts to achieve Armenian
    Genocide recognition by the international community, and to restore
    justice.

    To note, the exhibition items were provided by the Armenian Genocide
    Museum-Institute in Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia.
