German human rights group insists on erecting Armenian Genocide monuments
STEPANAKERT, NOVEMBER 16, ARTSAKHPRESS:As Ermenihaber reported, the human rights group has submitted such a demand to the German Association of Cities, with the demand letter handed over to its president Eva Lohse.
According to the source, Kamal Sido, a member of the Society for Threatened Peoples, noted that Germany was aware of the massacres committed by the Ottoman Empire.
“This is why it is highly important to take efforts to prevent the Armenians and other affected peoples living here from forgetting what happened, and to allocate a place to pay tribute to the victims,” he said.
The statement of the organization remarked that apart from the Armenian Genocide, the Ottoman Empire also committed massacres of other Christian minorities, claiming about 1,5 million lives.
