Juan Pablo Gechidjian: We are here to make  the world aware  of  what  the Turks did to the Armenians, and that 110 years later nothing has  changed

ArmInfo.  We are here to let the world know what the Turks did to the Armenians, and that 110 years later, nothing has changed. Argentine-Armenian businessman, former manager of HayPost CJSC and former Chairman of the Board of Converse Bank CJSC, Juan Pablo Gechidjian made these remarks to journalists at the Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex. He noted that he arrived in Armenia with a delegation represented by journalists from leading media outlets in Argentina and Brazil, as well as lawyers and  attorneys who help Armenian population  resolve issues with the Turks  in these countries. Gechidjian emphasized that the purpose of their  visit is to raise their voices, as nothing has changed even after 110  years later. Many countries that claim to support freedom and  democracy remain silent when atrocities like genocide are committed.  <The world only cares about business and money, which they prioritize  over human life. This is why genocides continue to happen,> the  businessman said.

Touching upon the Artsakh events, Juan-Pablo Gechidjian referred to  what had happened as genocide. He noted that  in Argentina and  Brazil, everyone is aware that the Artsakh people were forced to  leave the land they had inhabited for thousands of years, and that  Azerbaijan is actively erasing traces of Armenian identity in those  territories.  The businessman  mentioned that Argentine and Brazilian  journalists also want to cover the trials of Armenian prisoners in  Baku to expose the injustice being carried  out by the Azerbaijani  side. However, they understand that Azerbaijan lacks democracy, that  it is an authoritarian state that will not allow the free  dissemination of information. In conclusion, Gechidjian urged  Armenians to be strong and united.
