Armenian Genocide

`JOIN US TO RECOGNIZE THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE’

Lawn signs with this inscription are put up in the
streets of Mount Auburn and Arsenal of Watertown, USA,
inviting all states to join the countries that have
recognized the Armenian Genocide, Rosario Teksera of
The Armenian Mirror Spectator reports adding that
artist Daniel Varuzhan Hajinian organizes such appeals
on finances of his “The Work of Art” non-profit
educational organization.

Each year the voices of Genocide survivors are
accompanied with the voices of those denying the
Armenian Genocide. Hajinian said on this occasion: “I
wish the Genocide did not happen. I wish it were a
nightmare that would easily vanish and we would feel
safe in our ancestral land where the craftspeople
would continue their work, the fishermen would return
to the Lake Van, the churches would ring their bells
on Sundays, our intellectuals and writers would
compose until the old age and would show the world
their works. I wish it were not a mere desire. The
Genocide carries on so far as there are people who
deny it.”

He thinks it is extremely important to inform people
about it.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
