Not recognizing Armenian Genocide led to Holocaust: Leaders of Jewish
community of Armenia

YEREVAN, JANUARY 27, ARMENPRESS. On January 27, Auschwitz concentration and
death camp of the Nazi Germany was liberated 70 years ago. The
International Holocaust Remembrance Day is marked on January 27. On this
occasion the UN Office in Armenia together with the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Republic of Armenia and the
Jewish community of Armenia organized a solemn ceremony paying tribute to
the memory of victims.
As reports "Armenpress", the UN Resident Coordinator in Armenia Bradley
Busetto and the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of
Armenia Sergey Manasaryan laid a wreath dedicated to the memory of the
victims of Holocaust.
The UN Resident Coordinator in Armenia Bradley Busetto underscored: "Paying
tribute to the victims' memory, this
international day gives us an opportunity to reaffirm the commitment of the
international community to take steps against anti-Semitism, racial
discrimination, and intolerance, and not to let their repetition in future."
The Rabbi of the Jewish Community of Armenia Gershon Meir Burshtein, the
President of the Jewish Cultural Center Menora Willy Weiner and Chairwoman
of Jewish Community of Armenia Rimma Varzhapetyan-Feller issued a joint
statement, which particularly runs as follows:
"We have recently encountered the revival of Nazism, anti-Semitism,
spreading terrorism and violence, the painful example of which is the
Armenian Genocide in the beginning of the last century, which has not been
condemned and recognized by a row of countries and which led to Holocaust
and new genocides in future.
Taking into consideration the historical legacy of the two peoples with
similar fates, we must make all efforts to prevent the repetition of these
horrific facts of history in future.
The unacceptable silence of the international community and indifference
towards the crime against humanity and civilization, as well as the
targeted denial of any act of genocide paves the way for new violence on
religious and national grounds.
The international community must show solidarity in the direction of
recognition, condemnation, and prevention of all known genocides."
