Serzh Sargsyan links Artsakh events to policy of Armenian Genocide  denial 

ArmInfo.  On the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey, Serzh Sargsyan, the third President of Armenia, stated that April 24  remains a special and sacred day for him, one that has nothing in  common with everyday life.

In response to journalists' questions during a visit to the  Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex, Sargsyan emphasized that attempts  to consign issues related to Artsakh and the historical and cultural  heritage of the Armenian people to oblivion are doomed to failure.  "No one can consign this to oblivion in the literal sense. Whether  someone wants to forget is their business, but it is impossible," he  said. Touching on the destruction of Armenian churches in Artsakh,  Sargsyan expressed confidence that the authorities' lack of response  is a consequence of their political course. He added that concrete  steps in this direction are not to be expected.

Referring to the events of recent years, the third president linked  the forced expulsion of the Armenian population from Nagorno-Karabakh  to the policy of denying the Armenian Genocide. "This has always been  their goal, and today it continues to be their daily policy. One is a  continuation of the other," Sargsyan stated.

It is worth noting that the third President of the Republic of  Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, who is also the leader of the Republican  Party of Armenia,  visited the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex with  his daughter and grandchildren on Genocide Remembrance Day. President  Sargsyan paid tribute to the memory of the victims, laid a wreath at  the memorial, and placed flowers at the Eternal Flame, which honors  the innocent victims.
