    ARMENIA HAS NOT RECOGGNIZED THE GREEK GENOCIDE

    In 1922 the Turks killed about 300 thousand Greeks but Armenia has
    not yet recognized the Genocide which causes the confusion of the
    Greeks living in Armenia.

    The Greek Ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Armenia
    refused to speak about the non-recognition of Armenia of the Greek
    Genocide. Ambassador Panayota Mavromikhali mentioned that the question
    must be given to the Armenian Parliament. As for the Armenian Genocide,
    he said, "History is a fact which cannot be erased. Genocide is a
    fact and the only thing we can do is to speak about it loudly and
    struggle so that it won't be repeated again."

    Head of the Greek community in Yerevan Frontik Nikolaidi thinks that
    in case of uniting the Armenians and the Greeks can be a power against
    the denying policy of Turkey. "We have had the same history. Both the
    nations have suffered from the blood-thirsty Turkish yataghan. So
    every year on May 19 we come to Tsitsernakaberd to pay tribute to
    the victims."

    According to Nikolaidi there are about 1800 Greeks in Yerevan,
    and about four thousand in the whole republic. Many of them came to
    Tsitsernakaberd today together with the staff of the Embassy.
