A century after the Genocide perpetrated in the Ottoman Empire, the truth must be recognized for the world to rest. This is stated in the editorial of La Nación Argentine newspaper, as Tert.am reports.

“The Armenian Genocide took place a century ago during the reign of the Young Turks in the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1923. This is one of the horrible incidents in world history that was conditioned by the forceful deportations of 1.5-2 million Armenians.

Not taking into consideration the documental evidence, Turkey has been denying the events for a century, trying to distort history and claiming that there was no Genocide and that the Turks are not to blame.

In this sense, there should be focus on the implementation of the denial policy, and the subsequent action of denial was declaring April 24^th a national holiday, as the day of the victory in the Battle of Gallipoli during WWI.

We must not forget the brutal moments in history when 1.5 million Armenians were killed in the most brutal ways.

The Turkish side distorts the historical realities and presents them in films designed for Turkish television channels, and one of those films is shown in our country.

The Armenian Genocide must not be concealed, much less deleted from history. The time has come for the Turkish government to recognize it.”
