German President Joachim Gauck has condemned the Armenian genocide, adding that “in remembering it, we are not putting anyone who is alive today in the dock.”
“The fate of the Armenians is exemplary for the history of mass destructions, ethnic cleansings, expulsions and, yes, the genocides during the 20th century,” he said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his French counterpart Francois Hollande are expected to arrive in Yerevan to commemorate the somber anniversary.

“During the dire years of the genocide of the Armenians, millions of our people were uprooted and massacred in a premeditated manner, passed through fire and sword, tasted the bitter fruits of torture and sorrow,” Catholicos of All Armenians, Karekin II, said at the ceremony on Thursday.
