The Armenian Genocide of 1915 is a pain that we all share and will never be forgotten. April 24th is a sad and very important day for each and every Armenian. This is what European long jump champion, Europe’s record-setter and President of the Armenian Athletic Federation Robert Emmiyan said on the occasion of the 104th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in an interview with NEWS.am Sport from France.

“April 24th is a very important day for all of us. On this day, the whole world shares the pain with Armenia. I am currently in France where several events commemorating the victims of the Armenian Genocide are being held in different cities. I am also participating in those events.

I thank the French government and the Armenians of France for organizing and holding commemoration events every year. The Armenian Genocide of 1915 is a pain that we all share and will never be forgotten,” Robert Emmiyan said.
