Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has sent an address to the participants of the international conference “Armenian Genocide – 100: From Recognition to Reparation” that opened in Yerevan , according to the presidential press service.

“The French writer and philanthropist  Anatole France said back in 1916: “Armenia is dying, but it will survive. The little blood that is left is precious blood that will give birth to a heroic generation. A nation that does not want to die, does not die”. Yes, our nation did not die - it survived, reestablished its statehood and today demands justice, which implies serious preparatory work, including research.

It is no accident that scientific and research conferences have a unique place among the events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. I think the conference opening today will be notable for the fact that, while being entitled “From Recognition to Reparation“ and dedicated to the further studies of a large scope of issues on the Armenian Genocide, it simultaneously pays attention to the elimination of the consequences  of that gravest crime against humanity, and  to reparation issues ,“ the presidential address says in particular.
