While it is important to promote tolerance, justice, and democratic freedom, recognising and remembering the past will also help ensure that dark historic events are not repeated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To conclude his speech, O\u2019Dea paid tribute to those contributing towards more positive outcomes for the future, specifically mentioning the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ancaustralia\/?fref=nf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Armenian National Committee of Australia<\/a> (ANC Australia) and Baroness Caroline Cox from the UK\u2019s House of Lords.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ANC Australia\u2019s Executive Administrator, Arin Markarian said: \u201cWe thank Mr. O\u2019Dea for highlighting those matters of importance to the Armenian-Australian community, including the Sumgait and Baku pogroms, while also remembering the victims of the Armenian Genocide, and those Armenians and other minorities who suffer persecution in Syria.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Markarian added: &#8220;As Chair of the NSW Australia-Armenia Parliamentary Friendship Group, Mr. O\u2019Dea continues to be a great advocate for the moral truths that come with Armenian history and a wonderful supporter of our Armenian community.
