Message by RA NA President Galust Sahakyan on Remembrance Day of Armenian Genocide Victims
1 / 1

“Dear compatriots,

Today, on the anniversary of the greatest tragedy of the twentieth century, the Armenian Genocide, in our mind we go one century back to remember our martyred compatriots, who fell down victims of the crime within the limits of human morality and common sense. In our mind, we join them today to fight together against the state terrorism, encroachments and violence committed towards human lives going on in different countries, because nobody than they, the Armenian Genocide victims,  know better what is the national discrimination being campaigned by the state, the animosity policy, what is deprivation of life, deprivation of Motherland and property. More than 100 years ago they didn't know themselves, because it seemed to be that the humanity develops through the progressive civilization. In reality, it was like that, only not in the Turkish state occurred as a consequence of forcibly conquering motherlands of different nations and peoples, where today the civilization continues to remain at the level of xenophobia and intolerance, renouncement and violation.

From the centenary distance it is more than understandable for the civilized mankind that all this results in the greatest crime against humanity, the Genocide. It is understandable , however,  there are no preventive and punitive actions against genocide organizers irrespective of limitation period of crime.

From the centenary distance the Armenian Genocide victims sent a behest to the civilized humanity that the recognition and condemnation of the committed crime are without result without practical steps of possible genocides. The judgment of morality is nothing without legal judgment, which making reality is the duty of modern humanity towards the victims of the Genocide and genocides occurred in the world.

Dear compatriots,

We have proved that it is impossible to wangle the history or bargain over it. Regardless of tyrant's pretentions of head of any state, moreover of the genocidal state, any state, irrespective of its despotic systems being strengthened by Constitution, cannot be so powerful to cover or falsify the facts, which not year by year, but also day by day become more evident and intolerant. We are defenders of real and truthful history, fair cause and the memory of the righteous, the ones excluding the reality of genocide and the forgetting of phenomenon, as the soldier defending our borders rules out the genocide of the Armenians and their deprivation of Motherland.

Dear compatriots,

Besides restoring the justice and truth, we, the survivors have a silent promise kept to the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide to compensate the deprivation of Motherland occurred at the beginning of the 20th century by the recreation of the powerful and united Motherland, the deprivation of life by getting multiplied, the deprivation of property by prospering and becoming powerful. Those who have survived the hell of genocide and the memories of the Genocide victims urge and obligate us to pay tribute and remember becoming stronger, never losing not only the hope and the spirit, but also at the hardest moment be faithful to ourselves, our values and the most important is to our Motherland.”
