"We reaffirm our solidarity with the Jewish people. This people
composed an important part in the building of our nation. We do it
with the same respect and bonhomie that deserves every smaller and
larger communities, which form the genesis of our construction," said
the president. "We should not forget the genocide, not yet recognized,
of the Armenian people. Uruguay maintains that characteristic of
respect and solidarity towards all," said Mujica.
At the end of his speech he said "only a fierce and strong education
and training in tolerance can ensure a peaceful coexistence in this
world."

received a delegation of representatives of the Armenian community and
accepted an invitation to join the Committee to Commemorate the
Centennial of the Armenian Genocide as a member of honor when he
leaves the presidency in March this year. Uruguay, which has a large
Armenian community, was the first country to recognize, in 1965, the
genocide against the Armenians perpetrated by the Turkish state.
