YEREVAN. – Armenia Presidential Chief of Staff Vigen Sargsyan has written a comment on his Facebook account, and with respect to the blasting of the Holy Martyrs Armenian Church in Deir ez-Zor, Syria.

“Today, on [Sunday,] September 21, on Armenia’s Independence Day, the ISIS militants have placed mines and blown up the Holy Martyrs Armenian Church in Deir ez-Zor, Syria.

“Deir ez-Zor is a desert, which became a road of death for one and a half million Armenians who were killed as a result of the 1915 Armenian Genocide, which was planned and executed by the Ottoman Empire.

“This is yet another proof that the crime of genocide continues as long as it is not recognized and not punished in full.

“If Turkey has nothing to do with the terrorist act that was carried out against the Holy Martyrs Church in Deir ez-Zor, it must immediately issue a corresponding statement of condemnation,” Sargsyan wrote.
