YEREVAN, OCTOBER 30, NOYAN TAPAN. A monument dedicated to memory of the Armenian Genocide and Jewish Holocaust victims opened in Yerevan on October 27. As many of those present mentioned at the monument opening, unpunishment and not being condemned of the Armenian Genocide committed in Ottaman Turkey became a reason for the Jewish Holocaust. "The mankind is always in danger. International structures are founded, attempts of international condemnation are made, but genocides are continued," Hranush Kharatian, the Chief of the National Minorities and Religious Issues of the RA Government's staff said. In her words, only by remembering, marking, respecting and condemning the Genocide, we have no considerable contribution in its prevention, and one must certainly struggle by acting to reach positive results. To recap, members of the Jewish community of Armenian public, political figures of Armenia and others assisted creation of the monument dedicated to the memory of the Armenian Genocide and Jewish Holocaust victims. The author of the monument is sculptor Hrant Haroutiunian. As Rima Varzhapetian, the head of the Jewish community of Armenia mentioned, building of the monument just in the center of Yerevan, in the crossroads of the Terian and Moskovian streets has a goal to remind the by-passers, especially to youth about the necessity of condemning genocides and preveting them.
