UN will never discuss issues regarding claims on Armenian genocide.

UN secretary Ban Ki-moon stated at the opening of the exhibition on the genocide in Rwanda in 1994.

"This exhibition is devoted to the results that we have to draw from Rwanda events. We do not intend to assess other historical events. Generally, the UN will not discuss the events happened before the World War Second, before it was established," the Secretary General said.

The exhibition on Rwanda genocide was to be opened April 9, APA reports.

As Armenian Diaspora attempted to display placards on Armenian genocide, Turkey's Permanent Representation to UN meddled, and the exhibition was postponed.
