The fight for the international recognition of the Genocide against all the Christian populations of the Ottoman Empire continues, pointed out the president of PASOK-Movement for Change, Nikos Androulakis, who attended the memorial service and laid a wreath at the Memorial for the victims of the Genocide at his expense of Pontic Hellenism, in Agia Sophia Square.

“Thirty years ago, the PASOK government, the government of Andreas Papandreou, recognized the Genocide against Pontic Hellenism and established May 19 as Remembrance Day. As a Day of Remembrance, because memory is a guard so that such atrocities do not happen again in all of humanity.

But the struggle for international recognition of the Genocide against all the Christian populations of the Ottoman Empire continues. We will give him with all our strength, inside and outside the country. I cannot but say, in closing, that a few weeks ago a man who tried very hard, fought a great battle, fought for the recognition of the Genocide at the expense of Pontic Hellenism, left us, the late Michalis Charalambidis. His memory will be eternal,” said Mr. Androulakis.
