15:28, 23 March, 2015
YEREVAN, 23 MARCH, ARMENPRESS. The dissemination of individual stories
about the Armenian Genocide is of special significance in the context
of commemoration of the centennial of the Armenian Genocide. Those
stories show how every Armenian village, family and community was
subject to the crime.
This is what Secretary of the State Commission on Coordination of
the events for the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the
Armenian Genocide, Chief of Staff of the President of the Republic
of Armenia Vigen Sargsyan said during an event marking the launch of
the project called "100 Seconds", which is carried out by MediaMax
and VivaCell-MTS.
The presentation of the project based on eyewitness accounts of the
Armenian Genocide released by the National Archives of Armenia was
held at Komitas Museum-Institute on March 23. Various renowned people
from different countries, including actors, writers, musicians and
others have been offered to read excerpts from those testimonies for
100 seconds. There are 24 video clips, which will be shown every day
until April 23rd.
Chief of Staff of the President of the Republic of Armenia Vigen
Sargsyan mentioned that the commemoration of the centennial of the
Armenian Genocide is hinged on four pillars, including remembrance,
gratitude, international struggle and renaissance.
"The main goal of the project is to draw the attention of mankind to
the horrible sufferings that the Armenians underwent a century ago.
It's not easy to read and listen to those testimonies, but the more
people are shocked by what they hear, the greater the likelihood
that they will do everything they can to prevent future genocides,"
Director of MediaMax Ara Tadevosyan said.
General sponsor of the "100 Seconds" project, General Director of
VivaCell-MTS Ralph Yirikian says the project is a message to the
civilized world to remember and condemn the Armenian Genocide.
