Archbishop of Canterbury recalls Armenian Genocide

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams spoke of necessity to remember atrocities committed against the Jewish people during Holocaust and in Britain’s own history, as well as victims of genocides.
In a statement issued on Holocaust day he asked to remember the “Untold Stories” from other genocides that have occurred since the Holocaust.
“Although other poets have spoken for those killed in Armenia, Cambodia and Darfur, many stories from these and other genocidal events remain untold. If the stories are not told over and again, we lose the memory of those who suffered and we risk losing something that protects our humanity,” Christiantoday.com quotes Archbishop of Canterbury.
The International Holocaust Remembrance Day is marked on January 27.
