Armenian Jews on the Armenian genocide

According to Holyland News Jewish communal leaders in Armenia have called for Jewish leaders around the world to support the campaign to have the Armenian genocide ranked alongside the nazi holocaust as a crime against humanity.

The appeal stresses that Ottoman Turkey perpetrated monstrous crime against citizens of its country, inflicted reprisals, and annihilated 1.5 million Armenians. Those facts were consigned to oblivion for decades and were not condemned by mankind, they claim. "Perhaps", claim the Jewish community leaders in Armenia, "Holocaust would not occur if the world, in proper time, stood together against that atrocity, as it stands on the fight against terrorism". In addition, the Armenian Jewry leaders wrote: "No political or economical interests should prevent recognizing tragedies, common to all mankind".

Hmm..let's have that again. With regard to the suppression of knowledge of the Armenian genocide "No political or economic interests should prevent recognizing tragedies, common to all mankind". Now whatever could they have meant?
