PanARMENIAN.Net – Ukraine’s Union of Social Organizations “Narodna
Rada” calls on the country’s president to announce April 24 as Armenian
Genocide Commemoration Day in Ukraine.
The move followed the address to Ukraine’s leadership issued at April
13 Kyiv-hosted round table discussions entitled “Armenian Genocide:
Impunity Begets Recurrence,” the president of Civil Union international
NGO Armen Martirosyan said.
The address, signed by “Narodna Rada” board chair Nadezhda Lukashevich,
stresses the 1915 Genocide as a historically proven fact.
“Only through recognition and condemnation of the Genocide can we
prevent recurrence of crimes against humanity. Such atrocities must
never be repeated,” the address said, according to Analitika.at.ua.
