YEREVAN, APRIL 22. ARMINFO. Ukraine must undertake steps to officially
recognize the Armenian Genocide. This will help to prevent similar
crimes in the future, says the Congress of National Communities of
Ukraine in its address to the Ukrainian authorities.
The congress notes that over 1.5 Armenians were killed and deported
from their historical lands. “The Armenian Genocide was the first
genocide in the modern history and the nations of Ukraine who have
seen Golodomor and Holocaust understand the historical memory and the
open wound of the Armenian people.” “Paying tribute to the memory of
the Armenian Genocide victims we should realize the importance of
establishment of tolerance and peace in society.
