April 24 is not just a day to commemorate the martyrs, April 24 is a day to strengthen our national demand, it is a call, a message coming to us from our glorious martyrs. Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Aram I, stated this in his remarks at the commemoration ceremony dedicated to the 109th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

Aram I noted as follows: “Our people are demanding in the full sense of the word and shall remain demanding until Turkey accepts the genocide it committed against our people in 1915.

Our people will remain demanding as long as Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)] remains seized by genocidal Azerbaijan. Our people shall remain demanding until the people of Artsakh have disappeared from their ancestral lands as a result of genocidal fear.

The Armenian Genocide has a legal basis and complies with international laws. Therefore, it is impossible to ignore our demand, its validity and timeliness. In the passing decades, countries, governments, presidents, churches, religions, international organizations successively recognized the historical reality of the Armenian Genocide. This process must continue.
