Armenian Genocide Museum project was launched in Uruguay
MONTEVIDEO (Diario ARMENIA).- The presentation of the project of Armenian
Genocide Museum in Uruguay was launched on Wednesday July 17. The project
was organized by the authorities of the Ministry of Education and Culture
and Centennial Commemoration Commission of Armenian Genocide of the Armenian
Community Organizations of Uruguay.
The Museum will be the first one created by initiative of a State outside
the territory of Armenia.
Uruguayan Undersecretary of Education, Oscar Gomez, said that the initiative
"ratifies the Uruguayan policy of defense of human rights". Gomez recalled
that Uruguay was the first country in the world to recognize the Genocide in
1965.
"The Museum will not only refer to the Armenian Genocide, but also to the
defense of human rights in general and the recognition of other genocides,
such as the Holocaust or the Africans genocide during slavery", he added.

They may be 8,000 miles apart, but Uruguay and Armenia have a history
together. And, so, perhaps it should come as no surprise that the
Latin American country is slotted to become the first state apart from
Armenia to build a museum dedicated to Ottoman Turkey's World-War-I-era
slaughter of ethnic Armenians.
The museum in Montevideo is scheduled to open in 2015, on the
centennial anniversary of the killings, and will have rooms dedicated
to other genocides as well, local officials say.
Armenia's tensions with Turkey over the massacre play out in various
venues around the world, and national takes on the subject tend to
be commensurate with the size and influence of Armenian Diasporas.
Uruguay is home to one of the oldest Armenian communities in South
America and many of its members are descendants of victims of the
killings. Several Armenian churches, and non-profit groups exist,
along with Armenian-language radio stations and a newspaper.
In 1965, Uruguay became the first country - even ahead of Armenia
itself, which was under Soviet rule at the time - to recognize the
massacre as genocide. It once even mulled recognition of Nagorno
Karabakh, an ethnic-Armenian disputed territory that most of the
world places under Azerbaijan's jurisdiction.
Turkey views the massacre as a casualty of war and resists Armenian's
struggle to secure international recognition of the slaughter
as genocide. It has not yet responded to the Uruguayan museum's
construction.

Erdogan cancels Latin America trip, local Armenian community planned protests
YEREVAN, JANUARY 31, ARMENPRESS. Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan suspended his official visit to Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela
scheduled for early February. The government of Turkey planned a tour
of South America after meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican on
February 5.
In recent days, many newspapers reported the dissatisfaction of the
Armenian community in Uruguay and possible demonstrations against the
visit of the Turkish leader.
According to Uruguayan sources, several agents of the Turkish
government traveled this week to organize the security of the
president. The Armenian National Committee of Uruguay explained that
"the negotiations prior to this eventual visit showed that Uruguay
continues to be a key objective of the negationist apparatus of the
Republic of Turkey due to the Uruguayan State policy of recognition
and condemnation of the Armenian Genocide."
The suspension of the trip also occurs in the framework of a major
military operation launched against the Kurds of Syria in Afrin on
January 20.

Uruguay and Armenia will up their diplomatic relations by opening up reciprocal embassies in Montevideo and Erevan, it was announced Monday.
Uruguay's Foreign Minister Francisco Bustillo announced his official trip to Armenia, where he met with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian.
According to a statement issued by the Uruguayan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bustillo also met with Armenia's acting Foreign Minister Armén Grigorian and with Economy Minister Tigran Sargsian.
“Both countries are convinced that these achievements will contribute to capitalize on the great potential of trade between Uruguay and Armenia, beyond geographical distances. Likewise, they will allow the consolidation of ties, which both countries see as very promising,” the statement pointed out.
Bustillo's agenda also included a visit to the local software company Synergy International Systems, which he linked to the Uruguayan Chamber of Information Technologies (CUTI) for joint developments.
“Regarding this extraordinary relationship that we have built over almost 30 years of diplomatic relations, Uruguay has decided to open an embassy here in Armenia,” Bustillo said during a joint press conference with Grigorian.
Uruguay's top diplomat also reported the signing of an agreement between two universities to “promote cooperation, the exchange of teachers and students, and the teaching of Armenian in Uruguay.”
He also expressed Montevideo's concern about the deterioration of the situation with peace and stability in the region due to the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2020 for the control of Nagorno Karabakh and insisted on the need for a “peaceful solution to the conflicts”.
Grigorian, in turn, highlighted the high level of Armenian-Uruguayan relations. “We intend to take practical measures to develop cooperation in areas of common interest. Here I would like to highlight the areas of information technology, banking, management of aquatic resources and renewable energy,” said the Armenian diplomat.
Armenia also thanked Uruguayan parliamentarians for their stance during the war in Nagorno Karabakh, who condemned the violations of humanitarian law and the bombing of civilian positions in the area and pleaded for Montevideo's support in the matter of the return of Armenian “prisoners of war and civilians” still held by Azerbaijan.
Uruguay was the first country in the world to recognize, in 1965, the Armenian genocide during the last years of the Ottoman Empire (1915).
During his visit to Yerevan, Bustillo visited the monument to the victims of the genocide and laid a bouquet before the eternal flame at the Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex, in memory of the 1.5 million killed in the massacre.
Armenia is the first leg of a tour that will also take the Uruguayan Foreign Minister to Georgia, Turkey and Spain.

Armenia FM highly appreciates Uruguay’s condemnation of Azeri aggression against Artsakh
12:52, 16 August, 2021
YEREVAN, AUGUST 16, ARMENPRESS. Armenia highly appreciates Uruguay’s principled position over the Azeri-Turkish aggression against Artsakh in 2020, acting foreign minister Armen Grigoryan said at a joint press conference with his Uruguayan counterpart Francisco Bustillo.
“Among others, the country’s legislature condemned Turkey’s involvement of mercenaries and cases of human rights violations and bombardments of civilian infrastructures by Azerbaijan during the Karabakh conflict. All this confirms that although geographically Armenia and Uruguay are far apart, the continuously strengthening connection of values and worldview between Armenians and Uruguayans gives the chance to overcome the kilometers of distance separating us,” Grigoryan said.
Grigoryan noted that the consequences of the war which Azerbaijan unleashed against the right to self determination and right to existence of the people of Artsakh aren’t yet overcome.
“Armenia and Artsakh are facing a security problem, Armenian prisoners of war, including civilian captives haven’t been returned yet. In this condition, we continue to rely on solidarity of our friends, and of course Uruguay.”
