    Armenian President Thanks AJC for Meds Yeghem Anniversary Statement

    May 9, 2014 - New York - Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, in a
    letter to AJC received this week, thanked the global Jewish
    organization for its April 23rd statementcommemorating the victims of
    the Meds Yeghern.

    The full text of the April 29th letter from President Sargsyan to AJC follows:

    To American Jewish Committee
    New York City, USA

    We, Armenians, children of the nation that survived the catastrophe of
    Genocide,are grateful to all countries, organizations and individuals
    who put universal human values above short-term political and economic
    considerations of the day and explicitly recognize and condemn this
    horrendous crime against humanity. Historical memory and unbiased
    assessment of the past are important not only for being values,but
    also for their role in preventing this kind of crimes from happening
    again in the future.

    Armenians and Jews have a special mission to carry out in order to
    prevent such atrocities. Our two peoples, as well as [the]
    international community as a whole,have to stand unanimously against
    denial,the final stage of any genocide.

    I find it equally important to fight against the concepts that nurture
    such crimes.Only through joint efforts can we eradicate racism,
    xenophobia, anti-Semitism, hate propaganda and similar vicious
    phenomena that inevitably lead to crimes against humanity.

    I express my deep gratitude to American Jewish Committee for
    recognizing and condemning the Armenian Genocide. Your support is
    especially appreciated as we approach the Centennial of the Genocide.

    Very sincerely,

    Serzh Sargsyan
    President of the Republic of Armenia
