The World Has No Right to Condemn Our Actions – Monte Melkonyan

“The civilized world does not give mercy to the people who lost their Motherland.

The Armenian nation long expected the international community to fulfill repeatedly voiced promises, but none of them was destined to come true.

Today, the project of oblivion of the Armenian issue is being implemented, and we no longer have the right to rely on international compassion.

For the sake of our national history, our duty is to wake up the memory and conscience of the world community in regard to two million murdered and deported compatriots.”

“The world has no right to condemn our actions because it has not yet condemned the main regional terrorist, Turkey,” Monte (Avo) Melkonyan.
