Foreign Affairs Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian on Tuesday attended and addressed, in Brussels, at the International Conference on Genocide Prevention.

“It is almost one hundred years that not solely the Armenians, but the entire international community is waiting for Turkey to recognize the Armenian Genocide. Next year marks the centennial of this tragedy. As a people who survived the first genocide of the 20th century, we sense a huge moral responsibility to bring our contribution to the international community’s efforts to prevent crimes against humanity.

“Good will is not enough to rule out new cases of crimes against humanity. One of the key reasons for the new attempts is the absence of a unanimous and an adequate international response. The prevention of genocides is a responsibility that must be shared by the international community. It is indispensable not to disregard and to uproot genocidal manifestations. Denial is the continuation of genocide,” Armenia’s FM specifically stated.
