Yerevan /Mediamax/. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the
Armenian Genocide "one of the most horrible and dramatic events in
the history of mankind".
The Russian President's address to the participants of "World without
Genocide" commemorative evening reads this, the Kremlin press service
reports.
"April 24, 1915 - is a mournful date linked to one of the most horrible
and dramatic events in the history of mankind- the Armenian Genocide.
Centuries later, we bow to the memory of all the victims of the tragedy
which is perceived in our country as our own sorrow and calamity.
Russia's stance has been and is objective and consistent: there can
be no justification to mass killings on the basis of nationality. The
international community's calling is to do their best so as such
evil deeds wouldn't ever happen anywhere. The new generations of
Armenians and other peoples of the region should live in peace and
agreement without the horrors born of inciting religious hatred,
aggressive nationalism and xenophobia.
I wish kindness, peace and prosperity to the fraternal country of
Armenia and all the Armenians living in Russia.
Eternal memory to the victims", the address reads.
