As the Serbian leader noted in his speech at the Genocide centennial commemoration event in Tsitsernakaberd, "today, when the very term "genocide" became a subject of political manipulations, when victims of the tragedy are demonized, Serbian people, who also fell victim to tragic events, couldn't but show solidarity with Armenia. We couldn't but recognize the truth and learn lessons from the past. We have to be citizens of the world and respond to tragedies that can affect our common future." "Serbian people realize what happened to Armenians in the Ottoman Empire 100 years ago. We won't allow political correctness to harm people worldwide.
