TURKEY TO RECOGNIZE GENOCIDE IN 9 YEARS
The president of pan-Armenian compatriotic union “Yerevan and Yerevanians” Yeghia Shamshyan is sure that Turkey will have recognized the criminal action it carried out at the beginning of the century by the 100th anniversary of the Great Armenian Genocide. “If such humanistic countries as France, Germany and Russia have recognized the fact of the genocide, then Turkey will also have to do the same to remove the blemish from the nation,” Y. Shamshyan says.
The president of “Orran” (Cradle) charity organization Armenuhi Hovhannisyan also thinks that her contemporaries will face the day when Turkey will admit the fact of the Genocide. “I have learned about the great massacre from the stories of my grandmothers and grandfathers full of tears. And today I come to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of millions of our compatriots. I come here with a kind of sad feeling but in the meantime I swear to myself that I must be able to bring up a generation which will be sure that those dark days of our nation must never repeat again.”
