The current and former mayors of Athens will be the ones to formally dedicate the monument. The former mayor of Egaleo along with Sabri Atman, Director of the Assyrian Genocide and Research Center, Seyfo will be the keynote speakers.
Assyrians, Armenians and Greeks cooperate well on the issue of the common genocide. The last conference held in 2010 in the Greek Parliament was titled: “three genocides, one strategy”. The discussions to erect such a monument began over three years ago with the previous mayor of Egaleo. It was a little over a year ago when the municipal council accepted the Assyrian Union of Greece’s request for a monument to commemorate the victims of the Assyrian Genocide.
