YEREVAN. – Genocide is a global phenomenon. Soon we will mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War during which Turks perpetrated genocide to exterminate a particular ethnic group, director of Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Hayk Demoyan said.

Demoyan believes echo of the 1915 tragic events is heard up to date. Even the UN convention was incapable of preventing genocides.

He recalled the famous phrase of Adolf Hitler: “"Who after all speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”

“We witnessed bloodshed in Rwanda and the Balkans. The world did not draw the moral,” he concluded.
