    BUENOS AIRES (Prensa Armenia)--The legislative council of Buenos
    Aires, Argentina's capital city, issued Thursday a statement, written
    by councilmembers Virginia Gonzalez Gass and Maria Raquel Herrero,
    commemorating April 24 as the "Day of the First Genocide of the 20th
    Century," on the "99th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide."

    The council also approved a proposal submitted by legislator Pablo
    Ferreyra asking the Ministry of Education to allocate proper attention
    to the Armenian Genocide on the "day of action for tolerance and
    respect between people," referring to an Argentinian law that
    commemorates the genocide suffered by the Armenian people every
    April 24.

    "To educate about history is to educate for the respect and protection
    of human rights. In this sense, it is essential to promote the
    inclusion of the issue of genocide in education, not only to remember
    but also to consider the conditions that made possible such abhorrent
    and savage events," said Ferreyra in a press statement.
