Vigen Sargsyan: Turkey must condemn terrorist act against Holy Martyrs Armenian Church
Chief of Armenian Presidential Administration Vigen Sargsyan has commented on the terrorist act against the Holy Martyrs Armenian Church in Deir ez-Zor.
“On September 21, Armenia’s Independence Day, ISIS militants mined and blew up the Holy Martyrs Armenian Church in Deir ez-Zor. Deir ez-Zor is a desert, which became a road of death to one and a half million Armenians who were killed in the Armenian Genocide of 1915 perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire. This is yet another proof that the crime of genocide continues as long as it is not recognized and punished completely. If Turkey has nothing to do with the terrorist act against the Holy Martyrs Church in Deir ez-Zor, it must immediately issue a condemning statement,” Vigen Sargsyan wrote on Facebook.
