YEREVAN. – The study of the topic of genocide is necessary to prevent its recurrence in the future.

The secretary general of the Interparliamentary Assembly on Orthodoxy (IAO), Ioannis Amanatidis, stated the above-said Thursday at the two-day International Social and Political Global Forum against the Crime of Genocide. This forum is devoted to the Armenian Genocide Centennial, it is held in Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan, and about 600 participants from fifty countries are taking part in this event

Amanatidis recalled that the National Assembly of Armenia is a co-founder of the IAO.

“We are marking two events: the 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, and the end of the First World War.

“The attempts to conceal the Armenian Genocide led to the [Jewish] Holocaust. One hundred years later, Armenians demand justice and await.

“Unfortunately, the massacre of our brothers continues. Let’s make sure that the genocide does not continue,” Amanatidis specifically stated.
