STUDENTS START ELECTRONIC CAMPAIGN FOR GENOCIDE RECOGNITION
YEREVAN, APRIL 22, ARMENPRESS: The Student Council of Yerevan
Engineering University with the help of All Armenian Youth Fund has
initiated an electronic campaign dedicated to the victims of Armenian
Genocide. E-mail addresses of more than 90,000 organizations have
been collected, including NATO, UNESCO, leading universities of the
world, European Parliament, Embassies, foreign press services, as
well as e-mails of Turk and Azeri nationals for sending messages in
English, Russian, French, Spanish, German, Arabic and Armenian
languages denouncing the Armenian Genocide with photos picturing the
crime.
According to the Student Council chairman Hayk Akashmazian, Azeris
and Turks continuously distort historical reality of Armenian
Genocide committed by Turks at the beginning of the century. The aim
of the action is to once again remind the world that in 1915 millions
of Armenians were deported and massacred and to contribute to the
recognition of Armenian issue in the world.
