complex at the former Majdanek concentration camp near Lyublin,
Poland, in January 2013.
It would perhaps have been possible to prevent the mass extermination
of Jews during World Would Two had the WWI crimes against humanity
been fully condemned by the international community and those
responsible for them been duly punished, Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan said in his January 27 address on International Holocaust
Remembrance Day.
The Armenian leader, in particular, referred to the mass killings of
Armenians in Ottoman Turkey during the years of the First World War
that constituted the first genocide of the 20th century.
"The Armenian people, who are commemorating the 100th anniversary of
the Armenian Genocide this year, more than anyone empathize with the
pain of the Jewish people," Sargsyan stressed, according to his press
service.
"We reaffirm our commitment to jointly struggle for the prevention of
crimes aimed against humanity with our determination to say 'Never
Again'," the Armenian leader concluded.
The Genocide of the Jewish people known as Holocaust is also
internationally remembered on January 27, the day when in 1945
advancing Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz, a concentration camp
built by Nazi Germany in Poland.
An estimated 1.1 million prisoners, around 90 percent of them being
Jews, were exterminated at Auschwitz in 1941-1945. Many of the victims
were killed in notorious gas chambers, others died of starvation,
forced labor, infectious diseases, individual executions and medical
experiments. The bodies of the victims were burned in incinerators.
