Message of the Ombudsman regarding the International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism

The International Day of  Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism was established according to the UN General Assembly resolution dated December 19, 2017, and is annually marked in the world on August 21. This day aims to honor the victims of terrorism and those affected by it, to support them, and to promote the protection and full enjoyment of their rights and fundamental freedoms.

As the Ombudsman of a country which has been suffering Armenia’s terrorism policy based on the ethnic hatred and had mass human casualties due to this reason, I strongly condemn all forms of terrorism, commemorate the victims of terrorism with respect, and call on the world community to be active in the joint action to counter terrorism!
