Normalizing relations between Armenia and neighboring countries is important, but it cannot be based on forgetting or denying the Armenian Genocide. This opinion was expressed in a conversation with Alpha News by Alex Hadjian, secretary of press and communications of the Armenian Center of Argentina.
“We need to find common ground with Turkey, Azerbaijan, and other countries of the world, but that doesn’t mean forgetting the Armenian Genocide or abandoning the demand for justice,” he said.
According to Hadjian, the Armenian Genocide is one of the greatest tragedies not only for the Armenian people, but for all of humanity, and it is unacceptable to ignore it or push it into the background. “Achieving justice is our duty to the memory of 1.5 million holy martyrs. We cannot forget or ignore their memory,” he emphasized.
Speaking about the Diaspora, Hadjian noted that the memory of the Armenian Genocide continues to be one of the key factors uniting Armenians around the world. According to him, there may be different approaches to various political issues within the Diaspora, but on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide and the demand for justice, Armenians are united. “On this issue, we are unanimous. It is one of the most important foundations for preserving Armenian identity in the Diaspora, since it concerns the memory of our ancestors,” Hadjian noted.
