ArmInfo.Those who consign the Armenian Genocide to oblivion will not digest this, Armenia's ex-president Robert Kocharyan told journalists at the Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex.
When asked to comment on the attempts of the current authorities of Armenia to abandon their own history, including the fact of genocide by the Young Turks, the second President of Armenia noted that it is difficult to say better than what Archbishop Arshak said yesterday during the liturgy after the torchlight procession to the Armenian Genocide Memorial.
"In my opinion, you can turn on this speech and repeat it a thousand times. I will add that those who consign the Genocide to oblivion will not digest this," Kocharyan concluded.
On April 23, at the end of the torchlight procession, Archbishop Arshak Khachatryan gave a speech in Tsitsernakaberd, calling the one who surrendered Armenian territories to the enemy a traitor.
"Whoever tries to erase or question the authenticity of the Armenian Genocide must be cursed from generation to generation. The name and memory of the one who tries to erase our historical memory, as well as his family, must be cursed forever. He who fights against the church, will remain in history with the stigma of eternal condemnation and shame. Anyone who undermines the foundations of the Armenian family should be deprived of family comfort and family warmth Amen!!!", Khachatryan said.
