ATHENS – Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis commemorated the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day on April 24 with a message he posted on social media on Friday.

“Today is the remembrance for the victims of the Armenian Genocide. A crime against humanity that tarnished the dawn of the 20th century. A perpetual lesson to reject hatred, racism and blind violence. Because forgetting evil provides license to repeat it,” the Greek premier said.

“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
