(prensaarmenia.com.ar<\/a>) The Buenos Ares City Legislature<\/a> issued on April 3 a statement<\/a> written by legislators Virginia Gonzalez Gass and Maria Raquel Herrero to commemorate April 24 as the “Day of the First Genocide of the 20th Century”, on the “99th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.”<\/p>\n

The Legislature also approved a project submitted by the legislator Pablo Ferreyra to ask the Ministry of Education to perform “the necessary arrangements for individual school districts and schools in the City \u200b\u200bto carry out curricular activities alluding to the ‘Day of action for tolerance and respect between people'”, referring to the Law 26.199<\/a> that commemorates the genocide suffered by the Armenian people every April 24.<\/p>\n

“Educating on memory is to educate on the respect and protection of human rights. In this sense, it is essential to promote the inclusion of the issue of genocide in education, not only to remember but also to consider the conditions that made possible such aberrant and savage events”, said Ferreyra in a press statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Below is the Buenos Ares City Legislature statement (in spanish)<\/p>\n

Por el 99 aniversario del genocidio armenio<\/strong><\/p>\n

Se aprob\u00f3 con texto consensuado una declaraci\u00f3n para conmemorar el pr\u00f3ximo 24 de abril el 99 aniversario del que fuera v\u00edctima el pueblo armenio, considerado como el “D\u00eda del Primer Genocidio del Siglo XX”. Impulsaron la iniciativa las diputadas Raquel Herrero <\/strong>(PRO), Virginia Gonz\u00e1lez Gass <\/strong>(PSA) y el diputado Pablo Ferreyra <\/strong>(IP).<\/p>\n

El genocidio armenio, tambi\u00e9n llamado holocausto armenio, fue la deportaci\u00f3n forzosa y exterminio de un n\u00famero indeterminado de civiles, calculado aproximadamente entre un mill\u00f3n y medio y dos millones de personas, por el gobierno de los J\u00f3venes Turcos en el Imperio otomano, desde 1915 hasta 1923. Se toma el 24 de abril de 1915 como fecha de comienzo del genocidio, d\u00eda en que las autoridades otomanas detuvieron a 235 miembros de la comunidad de armenios en Estambul.<\/p>\n

En el mismo sentido se aprob\u00f3 otro proyecto de declaraci\u00f3n presentada por el diputado Pablo Ferreyra <\/strong>(IP) a trav\u00e9s del cual la Legislatura “ver\u00eda con agrado que el Poder Ejecutivo, a trav\u00e9s de su Ministerio de Educaci\u00f3n, realice las gestiones necesarias para que los distintos distritos escolares y escuelas de la Ciudad realicen actividades curriculares alusivas al “D\u00eda de acci\u00f3n por la tolerancia y el respeto entre los pueblos\u201d incluido en el Cronograma de Conmemoraciones, Celebraciones y Recordaciones de la Agenda Educativa de la Ciudad Aut\u00f3noma de Buenos Aires en conmemoraci\u00f3n del genocidio sufrido por el pueblo armenio, el d\u00eda 24 de abril de 2014 y de todos los a\u00f1os subsiguientes”.<\/p>\n
