A senior Russian official has reaffirmed President Vladimir Putin's decision to participate in the April 24 official ceremonies in Yerevan that will mark the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide in Ottoman Turkey.
"We will be mourning with Armenians on that day," Leonid Slutsky, the pro-government chairman of a Russian State Duma state, said during a visit to Armenia. "We will be calling on the entire conscious world to mourn that pain together with us."
"And we will be urging those who have not acknowledged and condemned that terrible crime against humanity to also do that," added Slutsky.
