Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, Governor of Massachusetts Deval Patrick, Congressman Ed Markey, Armenian Heritage Foundation President James Kalustian and other officials attended the event. In his speech Minister Nalbandian thanked the leadership of the state for supporting the Armenian community’s initiative. “The memorial dedicated to Genocide victims designates Armenian community’s contribution to the U.S. culture. The park is demonstration of Armenian-Americans’ gratitude to the state of Massachusetts and the nation having received thousands of Genocide survivors,” RA Foreign Minster said. “Genocide denial and impunity set precedent for other crimes. Regardless of geopolitical and other interests, international community must jointly struggle for condemnation and prevention of genocides,” Minister Nalbandian said, voicing hope for the park to become a pilgrimage not only for descendants of Genocide victims, but also descendants of the perpetrators of the crime against humanity.
