MINISTER OSKANIAN SPEAKS ON GENOCIDE REMEMBRANCE IN BRUSSELS
- The Royal Conservatory of Belgium was full of diplomats, journalists and students on April 25 as Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian highlighted a Commemorative Evening under the auspices of the Armenian Embassy in Brussels.
The Minister¹s talk, entitled ³Remembering a Past, Forging a Future,² addressed the nature and purpose of remembering. He spoke about Armenia¹s readiness for normal relations with Turkey, even as the Genocide and its impact are remembered and recognized. [For the full text of the Minister¹s remarks, see below.]
Belgian Senator Roelants du Vivier, head of the Belgian Senate¹s Committee on Foreign Affairs, spoke about the imperative of acknowledging both to honor genocide victims and to prevent future atrocities. He related how, during a recent visit to Yerevan, in the Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial museum, he was moved by the display of Hitler¹s words. The Belgian Senator had, in 1987, joined in the first Genocide recognition resolution passed by
the European Parliament.
Noted violinist Sergei Khachatrian, who in 2005 had won Belgium¹ a Queen Elisabeth Prize, performed pieces by Bach, Komitas and Franck. He, with Lusine Khachatrian on piano, received the audience¹s deep appreciation.
