Regional security analyst Varuzhan Geghamyan says honoring the victims of the Armenian Genocide is both a moral obligation and a strategic necessity for Armenia today.

In remarks ahead of annual commemorations, Geghamyan emphasized that remembrance and justice are issues that cannot be compromised. “In this post-truth era, there are questions, themes and ideas about which it is impossible to remain silent, to tell half-truths, or to debate. On these matters, everything is more than black and white,” he wrote on Telegram.

Geghamyan argued that those who deny or question the genocide have “no connection with Armenia or the Armenian people.” He urged Armenians to act daily in pursuit of justice, while highlighting the symbolic importance of joining the April 23 torchlight march in Yerevan, held on the eve of Genocide Remembrance Day.

“The march is particularly resented by Armenia’s ‘peace-loving neighbors’. Mourning is eternal, as long as there is no struggle,” Geghamyan added.
