CHER CALLS ON TURKISH GOVERNMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE GENOCIDE OF ARMENIANS
Cher says Turkish government should acknowledge Armenian Genocide
YEREVAN, April 14. /ARKA/. World known singer and actress of Armenian
descent Cher (Cherilyn Sargsyan) urged the Turkish government to
acknowledge the genocide of Armenians.
"I don't feel anger for (or blame) the people of Turkey, for
something that happened 100 years ago, But I think the Government
should acknowledge the Genocide," Cher said in a twitter post.
In an earlier tweet she shared a story from her grandmother: "A Horror
Story my Grandmother Told me. "The TURKS came to the village. They
called a town meeting & Shot Men & Boys & Raped The Women & Girls,"
Novosti-Armenia reports.
The Armenian genocide was the first genocide committed in XX century.
Turkey rejects the accusation of massacres and the killing of one
and a half million Armenians during World War I.
The fact of the Armenian genocide is recognized by many countries,
particularly by Uruguay, Russia, France, Lithuania, most of the U.S.
states, as well as by the parliaments of Greece, Cyprus, Argentina,
Belgium, Wales, National Council of Switzerland, Common House of
Canada, the Seym of Poland and lower house of Italian
