JEWISH COMMUNITY OF ARMENIA CALLED ON KNESSET TO RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

The Jewish community of Armenia has issued an address to the Knesset in regards of the discussions held there last week. “Discussion of the Armenian Genocide issue in the Knesset is an important move in a country whose citizens survived the Holocaust and still suffer from terror,” says the statement PanARMENIAN.Net received from the Jewish community of Armenia. “Israel has demonstrated the whole world how dear is a human life, how important is the life of each Jew. Everyone who dares to attempt these lives are given a proper response. Each nation honors its past. Armenians have been for 93 years mourning for the innocent humans slaughtered in the Ottoman Empire. “To condole is in nature of noble people. Blackmailing the whole humanity, threatening and choking with their invented stories, barbarians are eager for new blood. It’s high time to put an end to this. Recognition of the Armenian Genocide, the most atrocious crime of the 20th century, will be a manifestation of a civilized society, unity of sense and world. This is our debt of honor to the dead. This is your responsibility for the growing generation and your voters. “Our future is in your hands. Demonstrating solidarity, strength, wisdom in unanimous condemnation of the Armenian Genocide, you will be ennobled by your heirs. So, be kind and human. We are convinced that majority of Islamic people are civilized, peaceful and conscious people wishing to get rid of the stigma of the past. We will help them by taking a fair decision. We call on you to be reasonable and adopt a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide,” the statement says.
