) ).- A public recognition was held on Tuesday April 29 in the
Argentinean National Congress to National Law 26.199, the law that
establishes every April 24 as the "Action Day for Tolerance and
Respect between People" in commemoration of the Armenian Genocide.
The event, organized by the
Armenian National Committee (CNA) of South America ( Link ->
http://cna.org.ar/ ) , was attended by Deputy Cristina Ziebart, Deputy
Carlos Raimundi, Senator Ruben Giustiniani and Deputy Secretary for
Educational Equity and Quality of the Education Ministry, Gabriel
Brener, along with Director of the National Institute Against
Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism Pedro Mouratian, editor and
human rights activist Ragip Zarakolu and Armenian Ambassador in
Argentina Vahagn Melikian.
Dr. Hugo Kuyumdjian, representing the CNA, opened the event saying
that Law 26.199 "is the result of successive parliamentary statements
and resolutions at national and provincial level, along with the
public recognition in 1987 of President Raul Alfonsin."
However, he warned that "all these advances that we assume that are
consolidated, encounter daily attempts of Turkish lobby, and more
recently the presence of Azerbaijani lobby, two countries that are
operating together", to "keep alive the idea of ethnic cleansing
towards the Armenians, considering not only the struggle for
recognition of the Armenian genocide, but the existence of Armenia an
obstacle to their interests", something that "translates into everyday
attempts to influence in academics, educational, political and media
spheres, presenting a false version of history."
Then, he referred to the statement of the Prime Minister of Turkey,
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the day before the commemoration of the 99th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, explaining that "although some
media that raised the news described it as historic, the Turkish
government has always denied that the massacres occurred and often
blamed the Armenians themselves to be responsible for their own
genocide."
"The proposal to establish a joint committee composed of Turkish and
Armenian historians to study what happened, is an idea used for years
by Turkey to deny genocide, attempting to present two opposing views
on the subject, something that we know from Argentina as the 'theory
of the two demons', where there are two opposing sides and not a
victim and a victimizer", added Kuyumdjian, referring to the last
military dictatorship of Argentina.
Deputy of Nuevo Encuentro Party Carlos Raimundi said that in
international relations you "must look out for different interests",
but "there are some key points that can not be subjected to pressure
or any kind of consideration." Referring to Law 26.199, he highlighted
the example and the plurality of the parties that approved it and
said: "when a historical event that affected the human condition is at
stake, there is no possible negotiation", in relation to Turkish
pressures.
Senator for the Province of Santa Fe Ruben Giustiniani recalled and
repudiated the 1915-1923 events, mentioning that "each genocide
anniversary should be an occasion to think about how much progress has
been made and what still remains to memory and justice."
"The memory of the people and their historical consciousness are the
roots for a future of peace", he added.
Deputy Secretary Gabriel Brener stressed the importance of education
as "construction of otherness" and that "we live in times marked by
the figure of the other as a threat, and that is also the prelude to
the negation of the other". Similarly, he noted that the processes of
silence and denial are another form of violence.
Finally , Deputy of Frente para la Victoria Party Cristina Ziebart
spoke about the "commitment to remember what happened in the past", to
"learn from the experiences and not repeat past mistakes."
"This is not only to commemorate the genocide, we must also make a
commitment to continuously review the indicators of all forms of
intolerance", she said.
