    On December 14, 2010, the Human Rights Committee of the Balearic
    Parliament unanimously adopted a resolution considering "the fate
    suffered by the Armenian people between 1915 and 1921 as a Genocide",
    in accordance with the UN Convention on the prevention, and the
    Punishment of the crime of genocide, adopted in December 1948, the
    Armenian National Committee of Spain (Consejo Nacional Armenio de
    Espaņa) reported.

    The European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy (EAFJD)
    expressed its satisfaction to the initiators of this historical
    resolution and is keen on giving its support to the Members of the
    Human Rights Committee of the Balearic Parliament for this courageous
    act.

    "It is a big step in the fight against genocides and denials," declared
    Hilda Tchoboian, President of the European Armenian Federation.

    "These successive recognitions in Europe aim to Turkey to involve
    itself in a process of justice with respect to the Armenian people,"
    she affirmed.
