January 29, 2011 | 21:13
Sweden’s Integration Minister Erik Ullenhag mentioned the Armenian
Genocide in his speech delivered at the synagogue on Holocaust
Remembrance Day. The speech is posted on Sweden’s governmental website
().
The Minister recalled the words which are said to be uttered by Adolf
Hitelr `Who remembers the Armenians?’
`He was referring to the genocide that happened during the First World
War, when around million Armenians and a half million Assyrians and
Chaldeans were killed in the territory of present Turkey. We should
never hear the words “Who remembers the Jews”. The least we can do to
honor the Holocaust victims is to constantly preserve the knowledge of
what happened. If the deniers are allowed to win the battle for
history, it would be an offense to the victims. And the risk that
something similar could happen again would increase,’ he said.
