#YD2026 #YEREVANDIALOGUE
Today, we commemorate & pay tribute to the memory of the victims of the #ArmenianGenocide, perpetrated in the Ottoman Empire.
One & a half million men, women, children, & elderly people fell victim to the Mets Yeghern, were killed or consigned to death solely for being Armenian.
This atrocity committed against the Armenian people became one of the historical precedents that served as a basis for the adoption of the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention & Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Despite the efforts of the international community, in the 21st century, we continue to witness racial & ethnic intolerance, hatred, & new mass atrocities carried out on that basis. #Armenia feels a responsibility to remain continuously & consistently engaged in identifying the signs & early warning of such crimes, & to support initiatives aimed at their prevention and eradication.
Through Armenia’s efforts, December 9, 2015, was included оn the United Nations list of international days as the International Day of Commemoration & Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide & of the Prevention of this Crime. In 2025, at the plenary session of the United Nations General Assembly, the resolution entitled “The Decade of the International Day of Commemoration & Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide & of the Prevention of this Crime,” submitted by Armenia, was adopted by consensus. In March 2026, at the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, the resolution “Prevention of Genocide,” also submitted by Armenia, was once again adopted by consensus.
Remembering the past & paying tribute to the memory of the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide, the Republic of Armenia is building its sovereign future guided by the peace agenda. The existence of good-neighborly relations & genuine cooperation among neighboring states is a minimum prerequisite for establishing lasting peace in the South Caucasus & ensuring the peaceful coexistence of all peoples in our region.
