PATRIARCH OF GREAT HOUSE OF CILICIA, CATHOLICOS ARAM I INDIGNANT AT IDLENESS OF UN
Yerevan, April 26. ArmInfo. Patriarch of the Great House of Cilicia,
Catholicos Aram I is indignant at the idleness and silence of
international judicial instances operating under UN mandate regarding
the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey. Cilicia Patriarchy Department
of Information and Press told ArmInfo.
According to the source, Aram I expresses his indignation at the
superficial attitude of UNESCO to the destruction and “cultural
Genocide” of Armenian historical monuments by the same barbarians
who committed the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in 1915 and
in Azerbaijani Sumgait in 1988. “Why doesn’t UNESCO take measures to
stop the destruction of Armenian monuments in the historical Western
Armenia, Cilicia, the khachkars in Old Julfa and to restore Saint
Makar Monastery in Cyprus transformed into a public dining-room?”
asks Catholicos Aram I. He calls the international community for
recognition of Armenian Genocide like the other displays of Genocide –
Holocaust and the Genocide in Rwanda – were recognized.
