The national minorities of Armenia express their protest against the
attack on the Armenian-populated Kessab, Syria, and the violence
against national minorities, in general. Representatives of the
national minorities of Armenia adopted a statement today, condemning
the events in Kessab and demanding to stop the supply of weapons and
financial assistance to rebels.
What happened in Kessab on March 21 is the continuation of the policy
of 1915, President of the Greek "Patrida" NGO Edward Polatov told
reporters today.
"Even as Turks are promising everlasting friendship after 100 years
and trying to assure they have nothing to do with the deeds of
the predecessors and are not responsible for the crime committed
at the turn of the 20th century, they proved yet again that they
bear responsibility for the crimes of their ancestors. They have no
future, as they are an assassin nation. Only after a full and sincere
contrition will it be possible to alleviate the burden of the coming
generations," he said.
Presenting the joint statement, director of the cultural center of
the national minorities Razmik Khosroev noted that "Turkey is a great
criminal, which has destroyed civilizations and should stand trial
for committing genocides against not only Armenians, but also Greeks,
Assyrians, Kurds, Bulgarians, Serbs and other peoples."
"We view the events in Kessab not as the internal affair of Syria
or Turkey, but as an extraordinary case of mass violation of human
rights. We urge the heirs of the peoples subjected to genocide and
the whole international community to file a suit against today's
Turkey for the crimes committed in the past and demand the return of
the seized property, the historical, cultural and other heritage to
their rightful owners," Khosroev said.
The Kurdish Armenian community also condemns the Turkish provokers,
who continue their criminal policy even in the 21st century. President
of the "Kurdistan Committee" Zhenya Amiryan said the solution of the
issue is in unity.
"Only through unity we can counter the Turkish authorities. They are
committing new crimes one year before the centenary of the Armenian
Genocide," she said.
Condemning Turkey's past and present policies, President of the
Atur Assyrian Association Arsen Mikhaylov noted that nations that
have been subjected to genocide have to raise their voice every day,
not on concrete occasions.
