    April 21 2005

    Nicosia, Apr 21 (CNA) -- The Cyprus House of Representatives
    commemorated today the Armenian genocide of 1915. The House observed
    a minute's silence in memory of the victims of this atrocity.

    Speaking before the plenary, House President Demetris Christofias
    described the Armenian genocide of 1915 as one of the most heinous
    crimes ever committed in the history of mankind against helpless
    people.

    He reiterated Cypriot people's solidarity towards the people of
    Armenia, adding that despite the fact the Armenian genocide is
    acknowledged by almost every country in the world, Turkey stubbornly
    denies to recognize this crime.
