People's Assembly's committees meet Armenian Ambassador and Primate of
Armenian Church
Damascus, SANA- The National Reconciliation Committee and Committee of
Public Freedoms and Human Rights at the Syrian People's Assembly met
Armenia's Ambassador to Syria Arshak Poladian and Primate of the
Armenian Church of Damascus, Bishop Armash Nalbandian and the
accompanying delegation.
Talks during the meeting focused on the current preparations for the
100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide perpetrated by the
Ottomans.
The members of the committees affirmed the strengthen of historical
and cultural relations between the people of Syria and Armenia ,
pointing out that Syria embraced Armenians who became a part of the
Syrian society after the genocide.
The members considered the terrorist attacks of terrorist
organizations in the north of Syria, which were committed with support
from the Turkish government, as a continuation of the Ottomans'
savagery which led to the Armenian genocide, calling on the
international community and international organizations to assume
their responsibility in condemning the destruction and systematic
sabotage that Syrian heritage is being exposed to at the hands of
terrorists.
Head of the National Reconciliation Committee at the People's Assembly
Omar Osi said that the ethnic cleansing which Armenians were exposed
to at the hands of the Ottoman Empire is now being repeated by
Erdogan's government through the huge support it provides to the
terrorist organizations which target Syrians.
For his part, Ambassador Poladian said that the Armenian government
and people hold Syria in high regard for how it treated Armenians
after they were displaced from their land at the hands of the
Ottomans.
In turn, Primate Nalbandian affirmed the importance of dialogue, joint
work, unifying stances, and condemning all crimes and genocides that
Syrian, Armenian, and others peoples are exposed to, pointing out that
what Armenians found in Syria love, humanism, and the true Islam, as
opposed to what terrorists and extremists try to pass off as Islam.
Primate Nalbandian had announced on January 6th 2014 the launching of
activities to mark the 100th anniversary of the genocide which
committed by Ottomans in 1915 against Armenians, Syriacs, and
Chaldeans.
