OTTAWA — Canadian Prime Minister and Liberal Party leader Mark Carney has commemorated the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, honoring the victims of the 1915 atrocities and drawing attention to the ongoing suffering of Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh.
The statement was released by the Liberal Party of Canada.
“On this April 24th, I join tens of thousands of Canadian Armenians and millions of Armenians around the world in commemorating the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide,” the statement reads.
He noted that 1.5 million Armenians were killed during acts of violence that were systematically planned and carried out by the Ottoman Empire.
“On the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, we honor the memory of those who perished and reflect on their stories, ensuring that they are never forgotten,” said Prime Minister Carney.
He also extended words of support to the survivors of the Armenian Genocide, emphasizing their courage in overcoming unimaginable hardships and rebuilding their communities and institutions.
Mark Carney firmly condemned genocide denial and stressed the importance of recognizing historical injustices, especially in the context of ongoing human rights concerns in the region.
“Although 110 years have passed, this genocide continues to be actively denied by the perpetrators. The Armenian people continue to face persecution and oppression. This was tragically manifested in September 2023, when more than 120,000 indigenous Armenians were forcibly displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh following months of an illegal blockade that deprived them of their most fundamental rights.
By commemorating this important day, we honor the memory of those who were lost and reaffirm our commitment to building a stronger, more tolerant Canada — one free of discrimination and hatred,” the statement concludes.

Thank you Mr Carney.
You are one unusually great Prime Minister, acknowledging the Genocide planned and perpetrated by Turkey 1915-1923 to the 1.5 million Armenians in Western Armenia. Thank you also for condemning those who deny the Genocide ever took place: Turkey and company.
In fact no elected official ever sincerely speaks of injustices, and violence perpetrated to the Armenians, without turning around and supporting the perpetrators. Even now Turkey and Azerbaijan continue to cause unimaginable suffering to the Armenians everywhere. The world governments witnessed the blockade and deportation of a whole population of Armenians as recently as in 2023 from centuries old
Armenian lands, Nagorno Karapagh. They still remain silent.
Sadly sanctions and other legal means for violation of human rights are used selectively.
For being who you are, thank you Prime Minister Carney.
There is a pretty big list of politicians who take bribes. There is a short list of politicians who want bribes. There is Democratic Congress Representative Henry Cuellar.

“On December 18, 2019, Cuellar voted in favor of both articles of impeachment against Trump.”
As for the Azerbaijani Laundromat scandel “Former president Donald Trump defended Cuellar.[114]”
Interesting, isn’t it? Have you seen the post on TruthSocial where Donald says something about the ethnic cleansing of Artsakh. He said something like “I would have never have let this happen. I would defend christians everywhere. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did nothing about it.” This was before the vote of Nov 2024.
Well, he is a president now and has said nothing about it and done nothing about it. For the Apr 24, 2025, he said it is an unfortunate event and did not mention the word genocide.

There is the case of Al Green. He seems like a good guy.

There is something called the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus, if which Al Green is a member of.

“Weldon and another Congressman, Solomon Ortiz, both founded the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus in 2004. The Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus was a frequent recipient of Azerbaijani laundromat funds. From 2008 to 2016, Baguirov was invited almost annually by the United States House Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs to suggest economic and military aid budgets for Azerbaijan and Armenia. In 2008, Baguirov lobbied for greater aid to be given to Azerbaijan, citing equity and neutrality. But by 2012, Baguirov lobbied for aid to Armenia to be reduced to zero, while requesting that Azerbaijan be granted $26 million from USAID and $3.9 million in military aid.[498]”
