    ARGENTINA MAY PASS LAW TO DESIGNATE APRIL 24 AS GENOCIDE REMEMBRANCE DAY

    Armenpress

    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 6, ARMENPRESS: Armenian ambassador to Argentina,
    Vladimir Karmirshalian, told Armenpress that this Latin American
    nation may pass a law to designate April 24 as the official Armenian
    Genocide Remembrance Day.

    The ambassador said the local Armenian community is working hard to
    push for such a law. He said two major Argentinean states of Buenos
    Aires and Cordoba have passed laws designating April 24 as the Day
    of Armenian Genocide Remembrance.

    These state laws make teaching genocide at schools an obligatory
    subject of curriculum. The town of Buenos Aires has also passed a law
    designating April 24 as the Day of Remembrance of Armenian Genocide.

    Argentina's parliament has passed several resolutions since 1985
    condemning the Armenian genocide and demanding that Turkey acknowledges
    this crime. The Senate of Argentina passed a harsh resolution in 2005
    July demanding that Turkey admits this crime, but Argentine has passed
    no law to recognize the Armenian genocide officially.
