YEREVAN, MARCH 30, ARMENPRESS: By April 24 the countries, which have not yet recognized the Armenian Genocide, will get call-letters from Armenia and different parts of the world. With the campaign “2 steps, 1 minute for 1,5 million”, the Armenian youth and foreigners, who joined them, have already reminded the high-ranking officials of Estonia about the greatest crime against the humanity, committed in the beginning of the 20^th century, the Armenian Genocide, calling to recognize and condemn it. The second addressee of the call-letters is Germany.

Armenpress had a talk with Lilit Mkrtchyan, the Ph.D. of History, the lecturer at the Yerevan State University, the chair of the Young Historians Association. “The results are quite considerable. We have given the launch on Monday, March 23. Representatives of different sexes and ages take part in the campaign, which doesn’t recognize even the nation. We have very many friends abroad, who participate in the action with great pleasure and have sent their message to the government and the prime minister of Estonia. Each week will be launched for one country and the last two weeks we will give to Turkey to “bomb” it with letters”, - said Lilit Mkrtchyan, adding that the campaign was joined by a great number of schoolchildren.

The objective of this campaign is to raise awareness in the countries, which have yet to recognize the Armenian Genocide, the first genocide of the 20th century, and urge them to formally recognize it. The campaign calls on all of humanity to spend one minute and send the letter, which is written by Armenian historians, to the E-mail addresses of the target country for the given week. Each week the initiative will announce the name of a country which has not yet recognized the Armenian Genocide, and the E-mail addresses of this country. Accordingly, the first week was declared Estonia Week. The campaign states that even if one copy of this letter is made public in the target country, this will be one step ahead on the road to the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide. The “2 steps, 1 minute for 1.5 million” initiative is organized by the Armenia-based School for Young Leaders and the Association of Young Historians, and with support by the Armenian Assembly of America.
