This is our message to the international community, including the government and society of the United States, on the eve of the centenary of the Armenian genocide. The Armenian genocide is an indisputable fact, documented by the international community when it provided refuge to the hundreds of thousands of Armenians that fled the massacres carried out by the Ottoman Empire. Today, even educated circles of Turkish society have reconciled with their own past, opposing the official denialist position of their state,” Serzh Sarkisian states.
