MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay - On the occasion of the inauguration of
President-elect Tabare Vazquez, South American presidents, dignitaries
and media outlets took part in the ceremonies, including those at
the Presidential Palace, adjacent to The Social Democrat Hunchakian
Party Executive Committee of Uruguay.
Seizing the moment to attract attention to the Centennial commemoration
of the Armenian Genocide, SDHP Executive Committee members placed a
large banner in front of the Hunchakian center, paying homage to the
100th Anniversary of the Genocide perpetrated by Turkey. The Spanish
language banner gained worldwide attention from media outlets who
were in attendance.
"Being in such close proximity to the Presidential Palace, we felt
that it would be a great way to convey our message on behalf of
the Armenian community, to not only South American dignitaries at
the ceremony, but also to the media who would publicize this crime
against humanity - that even after a century, is being denied by the
government of Turkey," said Ani Garabedian, SDHP Uruguay Chairwoman.
"As Urugayan-Armenians We are proud to be citizens of the first nation
that has acknowledged the Armenian Genocide and we hope that other
nations in South America follow."
