YEREVAN.- The Netherlands-based Abovyan cultural center hosted on April 13 an event dedicated to the 97th anniversary of the 1915 Armenian Genocide.

Armenia’s Ambassador to the Netherlands Dzyunik Aghajanyan delivered a speech speaking about the genocide consequences and international recognition process.

He recalled that Turkish archives are still closed, while official Ankara spares no effort to push forward the approaches of denial policy and political pressure to stop the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

Dr. Ugur Umit Ungor, professor at the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, gave a lecture titled “Armenian Genocide and the Making of Modern Turkey.”
