13:08, 30 March, 2015
YEREVAN, MARCH 30, ARMENPRESS: By April 24 the countries, which have
not yet recognized the Armenian Genocide, will get call-letters from
Armenia and different parts of the world. With the campaign "2 steps, 1
minute for 1,5 million", the Armenian youth and foreigners, who joined
them, have already reminded the high-ranking officials of Estonia about
the greatest crime against the humanity, committed in the beginning
of the 20th century, the Armenian Genocide, calling to recognize and
condemn it. The second addressee of the call-letters is Germany.
Armenpress had a talk with Lilit Lazarian, the Ph.D. of History,
the lecturer at the Yerevan State University, the chair of the Young
Historians Association. "The results are quite considerable. We have
given the launch on Monday, March 23. Representatives of different
sexes and ages take part in the campaign, which doesn't recognize
even the nation. We have very many friends abroad, who participate
in the action with great pleasure and have sent their message to
the government and the prime minister of Estonia. Each week will
be launched for one country and the last two weeks we will give to
Turkey to "bomb" it with letters", - said Lilit Lazarian, adding
that the campaign was joined by a great number of schoolchildren.
The objective of this campaign is to raise awareness in the countries,
which have yet to recognize the Armenian Genocide, the first genocide
of the 20th century, and urge them to formally recognize it. The
campaign calls on all of humanity to spend one minute and send
the letter, which is written by Armenian historians, to the E-mail
addresses of the target country for the given week. Each week the
initiative will announce the name of a country which has not yet
recognized the Armenian Genocide, and the E-mail addresses of this
country. Accordingly, the first week was declared Estonia Week. The
campaign states that even if one copy of this letter is made public
in the target country, this will be one step ahead on the road to the
international recognition of the Armenian Genocide. The "2 steps, 1
minute for 1.5 million" initiative is organized by the Armenia-based
School for Young Leaders and the Association of Young Historians,
and with support by the Armenian Assembly of America.
