The Armenians' MP for Isfahan and the South Georgic Abramian said here
Thursday night that "the Armenians' genocide by Turkey in 1936 was
injustice to the Armenians and to the whole world." At a ceremony
held in commemoration of the enocide at Ararat Sports Club Thursday
night, he said Armenians genocide by Turkey is "unforgettable and
unforgivable." He said that it is good to see that several circles in
the world have condemned these inhuman murders and this has been an
upward trend.
"In Iran, too, this condemnation is expressed by demonstrations
with a political content during the past 25 years," he declared.
He said that he was optimistic that the wave that has risen for
condemning the genocide of the Armenians would take the whole world.
Abramian noted that the Armenians have no intention to avenge but
believe that this genocide is a crime committed against the hole world
and its occurrence again must be prevented.
He said that the Turkish government denies the genocide and claims
the killings have not been racially motivated.
He said once the memoirs and personal accounts of eyewitness to that
genocide have been collected and published it would prove the role of
the Turkish government in that genocide.
