Czech Ambassador pays tribute to Armenian Genocide victims
Czech Ambassador to Armenia Petr Pirunčík visited the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial on April 24, the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, to pay tribute to the memory of the victims.
The ambassador posted a photo from the memorial and made a statement on social media.
“I visited Tsitsernakaberd and paid tribute to the memory of the innocent victims of the terrible events.
Today marks the 111th anniversary of the commemoration of the victims of the Armenian Genocide. We bow our heads in remembrance of the victims and express our solidarity with the Armenian people.
More than a century ago, Czech traveler and humanitarian KAREL HANSA, in his book ʜʀůᴢʏ ᴠýᴄʜᴏᴅᴜ (ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴏʀʀᴏʀs ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇᴀsᴛ), bore witness to the suffering of the Armenian people and brought their tragedy closer to the Czech public. His words remain a powerful reminder of the importance of memory, truth, and humanity.
Nine years ago, on 25 April 2017, the Czech Parliament recognized the Armenian Genocide,” Ambassador Pirunčík said.
