BOOK ABOUT ARMENIAN GENOCIDE TITLED "FIRST HOLOCAUST OF 20-TH CENTURY" RECEIVED SUPREME POLISH AWARD

PanARMENIAN.Net - The book about the Armenian Genocide titled "The First Holocaust of the 20-th Century received Phoenix, the supreme Polish award, Archimandrite of the Krakow monastery Tadeus Isahakian-Zalezski said in a conversation with PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, this award is very important for the Armenian community of Poland, as the US-Turkey military union does not allow Poland to recognize the Armenian Genocide. It can be proved by the fact that the Turkish Embassy in Warsaw and Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Jan Truszczyński tried to prevent the erection of an Armenian Khachkar at the Krakow monastery in 2004. Isahakian-Zalezski noted that the book is the first major work depicting of the Armenian Genocide ever published in Poland. "It is rather popular and we hope that this popularity will induce official Ankara to speak the truth aloud. According to Isahakian-Zalezski, the awarding ceremony will take place in the Church of Blessed Virgin in Warsaw on April 2.
