Minister for National Defense of Greece Nikos Dendias released a statement on the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, stressing that recognition of the historical truth by the entire international community is a necessary condition.
“Today we pay tribute to the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide, one of the most horrific crimes against humanity of the 20th century. For Hellenism, which shares with its friendly people the historical experience of persecution and tragedy, commemorative events are not merely anniversaries. They are a constant reminder that recognition of historical truth by the entire international community is a necessary condition to ensure that crimes against humanity are never repeated. Never again,” the Greek defense minister said,
posting a photo from his past visits to the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial.
