YEREVAN (YERKIR) - Benita Ferrero-Waldner, Commissioner for External
Relations & European Neighborhood Policy, met with Avetis Patanian,
representative of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation's (ARF)
Hay Dat Committee and Armenian Apostolic Church Uruguay diocese.
Uruguay Parliament Speaker Nora Castro too attended the meeting
held at the Uruguay Parliament. Patanian handed over a document to
Ms. Ferrero-Waldner informing her about the petition initiated by
Lillian Kejejian, an ethnic Armenian member of the Uruguay Parliament.
The petition requests that the European Union rejects Turkey's bid to
join the Union unless that country recognizes the Armenian genocide. Ms
Ferrero-Waldner was also given a copy of the book "Armenian Genocide,"
published by the South America Hay Dat Committee and dedicated to
the 90th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Thanking for the gift,
the EU diplomat said she is closely familiar with the issue and would
read the book.
