The Armenian Genocide centennial does not mark the end of the Armenian Cause, President Serzh Sargsyan said today (May 27) at a meeting of the commission tasked with arranging the centennial commemoration events, Tert.am reported.

“May no one cherish hopes that the Genocide centennial marks the boundary of our Cause. It is just a unique phase of experiencing the grief, becoming psychologically strengthened and reaching justice. We will propose new objectives and a new pan-Armenian agenda at the centennial, as well as a new plan for having a more powerful statehood and a more consolidated Diaspora. With the centennial, we will sum up a period and signal a new phase of revival for the sake of reinstating justice.”

“We have an important message to the world. With new zeal, energy and resoluteness, we will continue our struggle towards the recognition and condemnation of the crime against humanity, the Armenian Genocide,” the president said.

The Armenian leader called Turkey to face the truth about the 1915 massacres, voicing an official invitation to Turkish president-to-be elected to visit the Genocide memorial in Yerevan.
