Discussions entitled `Prevention of Genocide’ took place in the UN
center under the support of Armenian Permanent Representation to the
UN on Thursday.
Envoy Garen Nazarian came up with a speech at the beginning of the
meeting stating that as a nation which knows what genocide is
Armenia’s duty to try and prevent further genocides.
Nazarian mentioned that Armenia welcomes the efforts of all the
governments, parliaments, different organizations and Turkish
intellectuals and citizens who try to support Armenia in the
international recognition of the genocide.

Genocide.
