This year Armenia and Armenians all over the globe will mark
centennial anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The commemorations
have four main directions, Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said in
an interview with the International Affairs magazine of Russia.
First of all Armenians will honor Genocide victims, and the Armenian
church will canonize the victims. Secondly, Armenians will express
their gratitude to those who stretched pout a helping hand to the
Armenian people. Thirdly, it is important to step up efforts aimed at
prevention of new genocides and crimes against humanity. And the
fourth important direction is revival: the Armenian nation managed to
survive genocide and revive.
The Minister emphasized that Armenia, together with international
community, will mark the Armenian Genocide Centennial with "Never
Again" motto, adding that the Armenian Genocide is obviously the
gravest international crime.
Minister Nalbandian highlighted Armenia's contribution to the efforts
into prevention of similar crimes. As an example he cited the draft
resolution on genocide prevention that was initiated by Armenia at the
United Nations Human Rights Council.
Armenians all over the world are united in the opinion that the
genocide must be condemned by the international community - by all who
consider themselves part of the civilized world and share human
values, he said.
Speaking about Armenian president's invitation to Turkish leader Recep
Tayyip Erdogan to visit Yerevan on April 24, Nalbandian said:
"Unfortunately, our invitation remained unanswered, becoming another
missed opportunity for Turkey's leadership."
