ArmInfo. 1915 went down in history as the year of the Armenian Genocide - a monstrous crime, carried out in Ottoman Turkey at the state level. On April 24, the whole Armenian people mourn and bow before the holy memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide. This is stated in the message of the President of Artsakh Bako Sahakyan.
The message, in particular, notes that this is a tribute to 1.5 million compatriots: innocent children, old people and women, cultural and art figures, state and political persons, ordinary people who fell victim to the Turkish scimitar only because they were Armenians . Hundreds of thousands of Armenians have become exiles, leaving their homes and finding shelter in different parts of the world.
"Our people managed to survive this bloody disaster and not only survive, but also to build their hearth again, to equip and defend their native land with great victories." The evidence of these victories is the existence today of two free, independent and sovereign Armenian republics, which, thanks to united efforts and the devotion of our people, our brothers and sisters from the Diaspora, take a firm step to a reliable future. The Armenian Genocide is a deep pain for the whole Armenians, which obliges us to be always vigilant and careful, do everything possible to consistently strengthen and strengthen the Armenian independent statehood. To be united, united, believe and hope for our own strength, above all put national interests and values. This is the only way of progress of our people, this is the most important lesson of the Armenian Genocide, "reads the message of the President of Artsakh.
