The legislative council of Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capital,
issued a statement on April 3, 2014, written by councilmembers Virginia
Gonzalez Gass and Maria Raquel Herrero, commemorating April 24 as the
“Day of the First Genocide of the 20th Century” on the “99th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.”
“To educate about history is to educate for 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
abhorrent and savage events,” said Ferreyra in a press statement.
