Never again for anyone, Greta Thunberg visits Armenian Genocide memorial in Yerevan
Climate activist Greta Thunberg has visited the Armenian Genocide memorial in Yerevan, Armenia, where she laid flowers and paid her respects to the victims of the genocide.
Thunberg's visit to the memorial comes as part of her ongoing campaign to raise awareness of the climate crisis, which she says is a form of genocide against future generations.
"This is a place of great pain and suffering, and I am humbled to be here," Thunberg said in a speech at the memorial.
"The Armenian Genocide was a horrific crime against humanity, and it is important that we never forget the victims," she said.
"We must learn from the past and ensure that such atrocities never happen again," she added.
Thunberg's visit to the Armenian Genocide memorial is a powerful reminder of the importance of remembering the past and fighting against all forms of genocide.
The Armenian Genocide was a systematic campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing carried out by the Ottoman government against its Armenian population during World War I.
An estimated 1.5 million Armenians were killed during the genocide, which began in 1915 and lasted until 1923.
The Armenian Genocide is recognized as a crime against humanity by most countries, including the United States, Russia, and France.
However, Turkey, the successor state to the Ottoman Empire, continues to deny the genocide.
Thunberg's visit to the Armenian Genocide memorial is a powerful reminder of the importance of never forgetting the victims of genocide and fighting against all forms of genocide.
Her visit is also a reminder of the importance of speaking out against injustice and oppression, no matter where it occurs.
