The Armenian Genocide, the first genocide of the 20th century, ‘inspired’ Hitler to perpetrate the Holocaust, stated Larisa Skorik, professor of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences, secretary of the humanitarian council at the Ukrainian President.

“Unfortunately, public awareness of the Armenian Genocide is rather low in Ukraine. Our country should recognize this crime against humanity. Recognition will not damage our relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan,” she said, Analitika.at.ua reported.
