PARIS, 17 APRIL, ARMENPRESS. During the television program called “Stories of French-Armenians”, French-Armenian actor Simon Abgarian talked about the Armenian Genocide, reflected on his past, the history of his ancestors and called on Turkey to recognize the crime that it committed in the early 20^th century and turn a new page in its history.

 As “Armenpress” reports, Abgarian emphasized that the Armenian Genocide is like a wound that never heals and doesn’t allow one to forget what has happened. “The wound is still open. It’s impossible to forget the pain, and it has to remind the future generations, including the Turks about what happened 100 years ago. It has to remind them so that such events never happen again,” Abgarian said.

 Talking about Turkey, the actor placed emphasis on the future and stressed the fact that Turkey’s modern society and generation acknowledge what their ancestors did.
