Remembering The Armenian Genocide 100 Years Later



Voice of America: Leaders Attend Memorial for Victims of Armenia Massacre

Armenian President Serge Sarkisian thanked world leaders who attended a memorial service for the victims of a mass killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turks 100 years ago.

Speaking under cloudy skies at the site of Armenia's permanent memorial to the victims slaughtered during World War One, Sarkisian said the presence of such leaders as the presidents of France, Russia, Serbia and the Greek-ruled part of Cyprus confirm their commitment to human values by saying nothing is forgotten.
