President of the Czech Republic Milos Zeman addressed a letter of condolences to the CzechArmenians and the Armenian people on the occasion of the 102nd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, Armenpress reports citing orer.eu.
“I personally called these atrocities as genocide at a couple of occasions, including at the meeting with President Sargsyan during my official visit in Armenia in June last year. I believe that in general the events that took place in these troubled times were one of the worst atrocities the humanity witnessed in modern times,” reads the letter.
He said although political figures must not comment on the history, one cannot forget the events that ‘not only took the lives of 1.5 million innocent people, but also present a tragic period of history both for the Armenian people and the entire civilized world’.
Milos Zeman extended condolences to the large Armenian community of the Czech Republic, as well as the entire Armenian people over the mass murders of Armenians in 1915.
