Armenian National Congress (ANC) headed by its leader Levon Ter-Petrossian visited the Genocide Memorial in Tsitsernakaberd to commemorate the innocent victims of the tragedy.

ANC coordinator Levon Zurabyan characterized Turkey’s recognition of the Genocide as the most important aspect in the international recognition of the 1915 massacres. “Turkey won’t have a clear conscience until it recognizes the Genocide,” he stressed.

As he noted, the process of Turkey’s recognition is gaining impetus, with increasing quantity of Turkish youth and intellectual elite accepting the fact.

Zurabyan believes the Genocide Victims Commemoration Day’s matching the Easter Day must be regarded as a symbol of resilience of the country.

ANC coordinator noted the demolition of Armenia-Turkey friendship monument in Kars to be a temporary political process. Zurabyan expressed confidence about Turkey’s recognizing the Genocide sooner or later.
