Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan on April 6 received Prosecutor General of the Hague-headquartered International Criminal Court (ICC) Luis Moreno-Ocampo who had arrived in Yerevan in order to attend the 37th forum of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH). Welcoming the guest, S. Sargsyan said: "The fact that people, who take an active part and have wide experience of human rights defence and condemnation of crimes against humanity, have arrived in Armenia is of great importance to us," adding that "naturally, in recent period there has been much talk about one of the cruelest crimes against humanity - the Armenian Genocide". L. Moreno-Ocampo said that their activities are aimed at protecting human rights, and the prevention of future genocides is one of their primary goals. The press service of the Armenian president reported that S. Sargsyan and L. Moreno-Ocampo discussed the opportunities of cooperation.
