“The world saw and understood that, when it comes to the normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations, they have to deal not just with Armenia with its three million population, but with the ten million Armenians.

“Armenians, as a people that have survived the Genocide, have a moral duty towards mankind and history in the prevention of genocides.
