Tsahkna: Estonia should recognise the Armenian genocide
Republic of Estonia - Ministry of Foreign Affairs
13.12.2023
At today's meeting with the Foreign Minister of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan, Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna emphasised that Estonia should recognise the Armenian genocide.
"Estonians owe it to the Armenians to recognise the genocide against their people," Tsahkna said at the meeting.
"In today's world, where there is an aggression against another country in Europe and Russia is deporting Ukrainian children, we must not forget and neglect history and accept this kind of behaviour," Tsahkna said.
The Armenian genocide took place in 1915 when the Ottoman Empire systematically destroyed and deported Armenians, causing the death of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians.
