French journalist appeals to Armenians worldwide to commemorate Genocide victims

Freelance French journalist Jean Eckian appealed to Armenians worldwide with a request to commemorate Genocide victims by recoding their names at inhomage.com.

“This contribution is a moral obligation for those who can bring together by number and name those members of their families who suffered unspeakable crime against humanity, termed as Genocide by Raphael Lemkin. To refrain would be to abandon your own identity, leaving a gaping hole to swallow up the most grievous abuse,” he stressed in his address.

The project is supported by acclaimed singer Charles Aznavour.
