He expressed hope that Garyfallia Kanelli will present to her European and Greek colleagues the real picture of the events occurred in Nagorno Karabakh.

Talking about her visits to Tstitsernakaberd and Yerablur Pantheon Mrs Kanelli attached importance to the condemnation of genocides as, according to her, non-condemned crimes are full danger of repetition. She considered necessary to combine efforts and unitedly fight for protection of human rights and their execution.
