and condemnation of the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian delegation
to the PACE had initiated a proclamation of a statement condemning
the Armenian Genocide and organized a signature collecting campaign
over it; several dozens of representatives from 15 states joined
the campaign.
"The PACE members having signed the statement call on the PACE members
to take necessary measures to recognize the 1915 Genocide carried out
in the Ottoman Empire to push Turkey into recognizing the Armenian
Genocide, contribute to Armenia-Turkey rapprochement and establishment
of peace in the region," the statement reads.
