The Armenian community in Argentina rallied on Friday February 27 to
the embassy of Azerbaijan to commemorate the 27th anniversary of the
massacres of Armenians in Sumgait, Baku and Kirovabad and report the
anti-armenian activities of Azeri diplomats in Argentina.
“The killings, persecution, harassment, dispossession and displacement
of the Armenians living in Azerbaijan until the late eighties
constitutes a crime against humanity that the Azerbaijani State must
take responsibility,” denounced Ary Assadourian, member of the Armenia
Youth Federation (AYF) in his speech. The rally was organized by AYF
and was attended by over 300 people along with a number of political
organizations that support the Armenian cause.
Moreover, the commission for the centenary of the Armenian Genocide in
Buenos Aires, a space that brings together all the institutions of the
Armenian community, issued a statement days ago in which they
considered that while “the Armenian people and their descendants in
many parts of world prepare to commemorate the centenary of the worst
disaster suffered throughout its long history,” the massacres of
Armenians in Azerbaijan “can not be dissociated from the
discriminatory policies that the Turkish state and its allies develop
in the South Caucasus”.
