President Serzh Sargsyan makes a statement after visiting President Woodrow Wilson’s tomb in Washington Cathedral

Dear Compatriots:
Today, all of us together paid tribute to late President Woodrow Wilson – a person and a leader, who is and always will be remembered by our people as a true friend of the Armenian nation. President Wilson was a great statesman, a statesman, who has been honored by the generations of the ancient people, who live thousands of miles away from America. For us, Armenians, Wilson is not only the person, who satisfied our dream of the lost motherland with the vivifying land but also left a percept to the world that the great are obligated to bear the responsibility of preventing torments of a small nation.

Remarks by President Serzh Sargsyan in Deir ez Zor

Your Eminencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am here today since I could not but be here. It is the greatest grief of my nation that has brought me here, the grief of the first genocide of the 20th century and the greatest disgrace of the civilized humanity. Up to this moment, in the 21st century, the stigma of that disgrace still remains on the foreheads of all those who have turned the denial of the evident facts into their policy, turned it into their bargaining chip and into their lifestyle and norm of behavior.
