Denial policy is continuation of Genocide – Serzh Sargsyan

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has issued an address on the Armenian Genocide Remembrance day.

Below is the full text of the address, as it appears on the Armenian leader’s official website:

Fellow Compatriots,

Today is the 24th of April, and we commemorate the victims of the Armenian Genocide.

In 1915-1923 a crime against the Armenian nation, against humanity and civilization was committed, which at the time had no name. All the names and definitions – moral, legal, or political – given later are only provisional and only in part reflect what had really happened. The true scope and depth of the tragedy is known only to us, and every Armenian, in any corner of the world, feels devastating repercussions of the Mets Yeghern on his or her destiny in every sense – moral, cultural, linguistic and political.
