Armenian compatriots, who fell victims to the heinous genocide
by the Ottoman authorities. Today we recall the most horrible and
tragic remembrance known to the history. We call on the international

the murderers, executioners and terrorism that pose threat to the
Middle East - in order to prevent further crimes against humanity,
civilization and history."
