Official Statement of the New Democratic Party of Canada on the 103rd Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide

Ottawa- This year marks the 103rd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Today, we remember the lives of over 1.5 million Armenians who were mercilessly killed as the world stood silent.

We stand united in solidarity with members of the Armenian community in remembrance of the unconscionable suffering of those women, men and children who were the victims of the atrocities of the Armenian Genocide.

Today, we mourn the loss of those victims, reaffirm our commitment to the fundamental rights and dignity of all human beings, and recommit to fighting against impunity for genocide and other mass atrocity crimes.
