    Armenia's representative urged UN member states to recognize Armenian Genocide

    January 30, 2014 | 12:46

    More than 50 speakers participated in a thematic debate on "War, its
    lessons, and the search for a permanent peace" held at UN Security
    Council on Wednesday.

    The meeting was chaired by Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid Al-Hussein,
    Ambassador of Jordan.

    In his speech, Armenia's permanent representative at UN Garen Nazarian
    noted that the process of reconciliation does not imply only signing
    of agreements. You need to admit your past in order to achieve
    long-term reconciliation.

    International experience shows that the nations succeeding in
    reconciliation have achieved it through the restoration of justice,
    which also includes elimination of the consequences of such crimes.
    Ambassador Nazaryan noted the importance of the international
    community's unanimous voice against the distortion of history and
    denial.

    Nazarian emphasized that the crimes of genocides repeat in modern
    history becoming the causes of enormous human, political and regional
    turmoil. He said that every society should face its past, and
    international organizations, parliaments, agencies dealing with human
    rights have their role in the process.

    Summing up, Ambassador Nazarian called on UN member states to take the
    necessary steps in advance of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian
    Genocide and to continue the process of recognition and condemnation
    of this crime against humanity.
