It is the fourth time that Armenia hosts the Global Forum “Against the Crime of Genocide”.

RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan made a speech at the forum and emphasized that the genocide is not only a historical phenomenon, it is a potential threat today.

 “Unfortunately, more and more we have started to consider the phenomenon of “genocide” not only as a historical phenomenon, not only as a historical legacy, but also as a danger and threat that still exists today in different regions of the world, and the prevention of genocide is indeed becoming a real problem.  In this context, we as the RA representatives emphasize the first genocide of the 20th century, the Armenian Genocide, which took place in the Ottoman Empire.  But I must emphasize that even today the threat and danger of genocide in our region is considered as a phenomenon of urgent prevention,” said Pashinyan.
