He said that the Armenian National Committee of Argentina has prepared the textbook and hosting seminars for teachers.
"I have to say that the Armenian Genocide is also recognized by Venezuela, which is far from other South America countries in general. Armenia’s of Argentina and other South American countries got out of the so-called "ghettos" and began to integrate into the societies. We became part of the civil society, which gave refuge to us. This is the way to go, and the Armenian community of France gives us the best example," he said.
