Last week the conference titled "Genocide: yesterday and today: what
lessons we got" finished in the UN. It was organized by the joint
effort of the Ambassadors of Armenia and Rwanda and the Armenian
General Benevolent Union.
"It must be evaluated as a usual discussion in the UN.
It was not held under the UN support. The UN only allotted the hall,
although the political assistant of the UN Secretary General Kofi
Anan participated in the discussions", the head of the Genocides
investigation center of the Zoryan Institute, professor Vahagn Dadryan
told the Radio station "Azatutyun". He represented the Armenian points
of view during the discussions.
"The aim is to investigate the first and the last genocides of the
20th century and to learn their lessons in order to prevent genocides",
he said.
Alongside with a number of historians, professor Dadryan arrived in
Prague to participated in the conference about the Armenian Genocide
which will be held in the Czech Senate on Tuesday.
