    PARLIAMENT OF SPAIN CAN DISCUSS ISSUE OF RECOGNITION OF ARMENIAN
    GENOCIDE

    MADRID, SEPTEMBER 8, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Representatives
    of the Armenian comunity of Spain addressed to deputies from Catalonia
    Rosa Bonas and Joan Puigcercos with a call to organize discussions at
    the Spanish Parliament on the issue of the Armenian Genocide committed
    in the Ottaman Empire in the early 20th century. The deputies presented
    a corresponding proposal to the Parliament Committee on Foreign
    Affairs and persuaded their colleagues to recognize the Armenian
    Genocide as a crime against mankind. Later, Rosa Bonas informed the
    Turkish "Anatolia" information agency that they made changes in the
    draft resolution, taking out the article in which Ankara is called
    to recognize the Armenian Genocide. At the same time, Bonas stated
    that she has always had special attitude towards communities small
    in number, and she heard about the Armenian Genocide only after the
    Spanish Armenians' letter. Turkish Ambassador Volkan Vular said to
    the Foreign Ministry and Parliament of Spain that in the case of
    holding the proposed discussions, the Turkish-Spanish relations would
    be damaged.
