Damascus – A<\/SPAN>INA<\/SPAN> —<\/SPAN> On 24th of April, on the 92nd anniversary of the start of the Turkish genocide of Assyrians, Armenians and Greeks, the Left Party in \u00d6rebro, Sweden proposed a genocide memorial monument to honor the Armenian and Assyrian (also known as Chaldean and Syriac) residents in \u00d6rebro.
The Armenians and Assyrians form a substantial and significant minority in \u00d6rebro and are an important part of the city’s life and culture. Years of persecution and harassment in their native countries have forced the Assyrians to flee, and with the genocide as a traumatic memory, the Left Party’s genocide monument proposal is intended to honor the communities.
The genocide monument would facilitate the dialog about the genocide among Assyrians, Armenians and Swedish residents, and insure that this important historical event is not forgotten. Residents of \u00d6rebro would get a clearer picture of who the Armenians and Assyrians and of their shared genocide in 1915. “Today there are 5000 Armenians and Assyrians living in \u00d6rebro and it is essential that we notice their history,” says Murad Artin, a municipal commissioner in \u00d6rebro.
The proposal from the Left Party involves an artistically designed historical monument that would convey the background of the Armenians and Assyrians and their past of persecution and harassment.
