Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan said the recognition of the Armenian genocide is an “irreversible” process, paying tribute to states that have recognised it.
In a joint press conference with Czech foreign minister Lubomir Zaoralek, Mr Nalbandyan highlighted recent statements made by the German president and Belgian Prime Minister, adding that they “deserve high evaluation”.
“All this proves that the Armenian genocide recognition process is irreversible,” continued Mr Nalbandyan.
He was speaking following a visit to the Armenian genocide memorial by Mr Zaoralek, who stated the genocide was an event that “should obviously become a lesson of history and never be consigned to oblivion”. “We must remember it,” he added.
