Armenian Assembly resolute to struggle for Genocide international recognitionApril 24, 2011 - 12:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Assembly of America Country Director for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh Armine Darbinyan said the Armenian Genocide should be considered not only from the historical perspective, but also in the context of human rights. Bloody events continue taking place around the globe, since the world has not condemned acts of genocide, including the Armenian Genocide, in due time, Darbinyan said after visiting the Armenian Genocide Memorial. “Any crime that is left unpunished gives birth to new crimes. That is why the Armenian Assembly is resolute to struggle for the Armenian Genocide international recognition,” noted Darbinyan. She added that the Assembly will continue working with the U.S. Congressmen and President’s Administration to gain the Armenian Genocide recognition by the U.S. eventually.
