Silence about the Armenian Genocide has become a deafening silence, Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan stated in his exclusive interview given to the Quotidiano Nazionale magazine of Italy. 

“The Armenian Genocide continues to be a forgotten calamity. In the case when we know everything about the Jewish Holocaust, a thick curtain has been pulled over the extermination of the Armenians. This is what I call a double standard. One-and-a-half-million Armenians were massacred almost a hundred years ago. [And] How many people in the world truly recognize this reality?”, Armenia’s President asked. 

As per Sargsyan, silence about the Armenian Genocide has become a deafening silence for all humanity. “Especially since Europe has won the Nobel Peace Prize, it will now make its voice be heard. And with respect to Armenia, we found the courage to commence the process of normalizing our relations with Turkey, but [official] Ankara conditioned the process on unacceptable terms. Today, [and] together with the EU, US, and Russia, we await Turkey to change its stance,” Armenia’s President stated.
