The opening panel of “Responsibility 2015” international conference kicked off in New York on Friday.

Hannibal Travis, keynote speaker Geoffrey Robertson QC, and Antranig Kasbarian discussed 100 years of human rights violations with a special focus on justice for the Armenian Genocide, the Armenian National Committee of America said in a message on Facebook.

In his speech Geoffrey Robertson condemned the equivocation of Armenian Genocide by U.S. and UK.

“Final act of genocide is denial,” he said.

Robertson added that scars of Armenian Genocide continue till Turkey makes some sort of acknowledgment and reparations.

The conference entitled “Responsibility 2015” is being held on March 13-15, 2015 at New York’s Marriott Marquis Hotel.
