SYDNEY — The Cyprus Community of NSW joined the Armenian community at the Parliament of New South Wales in Australia this week for a commemoration that placed remembrance, historical truth, and Australia’s humanitarian response at the center of discussions about the genocides of the early 20th century. The event, held on Tuesday, brought community representatives together to honor the victims of the Sayfo Genocide and reflect on the broader destruction inflicted on the Suroyo (Syriac–Aramean–Assyrian–Chaldean), Armenian, and Pontic Greek peoples during the final years of the Ottoman Empire.
