Armenian people have exclusive mission in preventing repetition of genocides: Serzh Sargsyan

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 23, ARMENPRESS: Serzh Sargsyan has given an interview to The New York Times, Armenpress reports. “We believe that the whole of mankind should be consistent in the recognition, condemnation and exclusion of denialism of this crime of crimes, Serzh Sragsyan says in an interview with The New York Times.

“This is our message to the international community, including the government and society of the United States, on the eve of the centenary of the Armenian genocide. The Armenian genocide is an indisputable fact, documented by the international community when it provided refuge to the hundreds of thousands of Armenians that fled the massacres carried out by the Ottoman Empire. Today, even educated circles of Turkish society have reconciled with their own past, opposing the official denialist position of their state,” Serzh Sargsyan states.

According to Serzh Sargsyan, the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide is an important step toward its international recognition and condemnation, but it is not an endpoint. It marks a new beginning in the context of joint efforts to prevent history repeating itself.
