Vasily Shklyar: I think it is necessary to recognize Armenian Genocide

Popular Ukrainian author, deputy head of the Ukrainian Union of Writers Vasily Shklyar said that it is strange that the state, which survived Holodomor, has not recognized the Armenian Genocide yet.

According to him, it is the biggest evil, when people do not want to acknowledge the truth being well aware of it.

“As a representative of the Ukrainian intelligentsia, I am ashamed. Maybe we could tell more about the Armenian Genocide to Ukrainians. I think it is necessary to urge high-ranking officials to recognize this crime against humanity, what will be a kind of purification for us,” Analitika.at.ua quoted Shklyar as saying.
