Canadian Ambassador to Armenia Andrew Turner emphasized that the ceremony commemorating the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide conveys a powerful message. He expressed pride that Canada is among the nations that have officially recognized the Armenian Genocide.

"The commemoration of the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide reminds us all to remain attentive to the lessons of history and to honor the memory of all victims. I believe the memorial ceremony was incredibly moving," the ambassador said, as reported by Armenpress.

He added that the anniversary event, despite its simplicity, carried a profound message.

"I am very proud that Canada has recognized the Armenian Genocide. During my diplomatic career, I played a small role in that process—conducting research and helping draft a speech on the subject for one of our senators. It’s something I feel deeply proud of," the ambassador noted.

The Canadian Senate adopted a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide on June 13, 2002.
