The Deputy Speaker in his word has particularly mentioned that the
opening of the exhibition is not pointed against any country, including
Turkey, but rather held for the sake of the restoration of historical
justice, and international recognition and condemnation of genocides.
He has added that the Armenian Genocide was the first in the 20th
century: one and a half million Armenians were massacred for the only
reason that they were Armenians. In the Deputy Speaker's word, it is
the classical example of racism and xenophobia. He has documented
that the exhibition presents the European press reaction which is
the evidence of the Armenian Genocide occurrence.
The Deputy Speaker has stated that the civilized society should condemn
the crime against mankind and for the sake of justice must not let
the perpetrators remain unpunished and the genocide successors -
uncompensated.
