    GENOCIDE WAS LOSS NOT ONLY FOR ARMENIANS - EUROPEAN OFFICIAL

    13:35 * 22.04.15

    The Council of Europe's secretary general expressed his deep sorrow
    for the tragedy of the Armenian Genocide committed 100 years ago,
    considering the condemnable crime a loss not only for Armenia but
    also the entire world.

    "I am sad, I am thinking about those people who lost their lives
    during that tragedy. I am excited to be here. I am from Fridtjof
    Nansen's country, and I am even more excited in this connection,"
    Thorbjørn Jagland said at the International Social and Political
    Global Forum against the Crime of Genocide.

    He called for active efforts by the international community towards
    reaffirming the responsibility in the campaign against the violation of
    human rights. He said world countries' efforts towards the prevention
    of genocides and the international community's support to the process
    should be based upon the core principles and values of the United
    Nations.

    Commenting upon the developments in Syria, the European official
    said it is incredible for them to see that such a violence is still
    possible in a country in the 21st century.

    He said that the Council attaches a high values to Armenia's support in
    the global anti-xenophobia campaign, especially in the fight against
    racism. Mr Thorbjørn said he sees that the Armenian people do exactly
    what people in the other countries expect.

    Describing Armenia as a state inspiring great hope, the European
    official noted that the nation managed to turn its suffering into
    something powerful which the world eye-witnessed over the past week.
