    European Parliament members find Genocide recognition necessary
    10.10.2009 20:32 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ On October 6, European Parliament held a conference
    on `Denial and Democracy in Europe'. Event was organized upon the
    initiative of German Christian-Democratic party Elmar Brok. The
    conference, which was attended by nearly 100 delegates including MEPs,
    political advisors and media experts, explored genocide denial in the
    EU in light of the Framework Decision against Racism and Xenophobia,
    adopted by the European Council last year.

    The keynote speakers included German MEP Mr Elmar Brok, French MEP Mr
    Jean-Marie Cavada, and Dr H.C. Ralph Giordano, a renowned German
    intellectual and Holocaust survivor. Mr Brok and Mr Cavada stressed
    the importance of the Framework Decision and Dr H.C. Giordano said
    that any hope for reconciliation between Turkey and Armenia should be
    contingent on Turkey's recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

    Participants voiced their positions and views over the issue,
    stressing the need of Turkey's recognizing Genocide.
