Armenian Genocide: Ukraine Shares Pain of Armenian People
"We share the pain of the Armenian people. This day reminds us that we must derive lessons from the dark pages of the history," Ukrainian Ambassador to Armenia Alexander Bozhko stated in Tsitsernakaberd today. "The tragedy of the Armenian people was followed by fascist concentration camps and then hunger in Ukraine that claimed the lives of 5 million people. One should not forget Stalin's repressions, when many representatives of Armenian, Russian and Ukrainian intelligentsia died," Bozhko said.
