US Senate's Genocide resolution has preventive value – Foreign Ministry spokesperson  

The US Senate's unanimous decision to acknowledge the Armenia Genocide is a resolute step towards reinstating justice and truth, and achieving the international recognition of the big crime, the Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman said today, appreciating the move as a sign of hommage to the 1.5 million victims.

Speaking at a press briefing, Anna Naghdalyan highlighted also the preventive significance of the resolution, noting that genocidal policies persistantly push their way also through modern history. "Regretfully, genocidal acts and trends have not remained only in the chapters of history, with the generations of genocide survivors still continuing to face violence against the ethnic background. The Senate's decision, in this respect, is encouraging and actual. It is also a tribute of respect to the victims' memory and dignity,″ she added.

The spokeswoman also took the chance to extend her deep gratitude to the Senate members, as well as the Armenian community organizations and groups who supported the universal effort.
