YEREVAN, APRIL 24, ARMENPRESS: On the occasion of the 91-st
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide President of Armenia Robert
Kocharian addressed a message today to his country fellows, which
reads as follows.
"Dear country fellows, today we are honoring the memory of the victims
of the Armenian Genocide. The government of the Ottoman Turkey and its
successor bear the entire responsibility for this crime. The Armenian
nation has been suffering the heavy consequences of it throughout
their post-Genocide history.
Our pain is stronger because we have to fight for international
acknowledgment and condemnation of this black chapter of the
history. As the mouthpiece of all Armenians of Armenia and Diaspora
the Republic of Armenia will continue this struggle. We are grateful
to those nations, organizations and individuals who support us in
it. The understanding that the recognition and condemnation of the
Armenian Genocide is the problem of all nations of the globe and the
most effective way to prevent its repetition in future is becoming
deeper and stronger with every year.
The struggle of Armenians for the recognition of the Genocide is
not driven by their desire to take revenge. We look forward because
a strong, prosperous and advancing Republic of Armenia is the best
response to the policy of denialism.
