Sakellaropoulou: The victims of the Armenian genocide must never be forgotten
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
"The victims of the Armenian genocide must never be forgotten," President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou underlined in a statement on Wednesday.
"Today is the 109th anniversary since the start of a systematic extermination of one and a half million Armenians during the last period of the Ottoman Empire. It constitutes a genocide that almost eradicated an ancient and prosperous Christian hub in the southern part of the Caucasus".
"Acknowledgement of such tragic events, as well as a constant vigilance against violence and hate directed at our fellow human beings, are an essential condition for not repeating similar crimes and for the peaceful coexistence of nations and peoples. The victims of the Armenian Genocide must never be forgotten," the Greek president concluded.
