    RESOLUTION ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE SUBMITTED IN THE BULGARIAN PARLIAMENT

    ArmInfo. Bulgaria's conservative Order, Law, and Justice (RZS) party is
    submitting with the Parliament Thursday an official declaration asking
    that Bulgaria condemns the Armenian genocide committed by Turkey.

    The declaration is in connection with the Thursday visit of Turkish
    Foreign Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, to Bulgaria and statements of
    Turkey's Prime Minister Erdogan that the country is prepared to
    extradite 100 000 Armenians.

    RZS is also requesting an official answer from Prime Minister, Boyko
    Borisov, about the policy of the cabinet regarding the Armenian
    genocide during World War I.

    The party leader, Yane Yanev, says they aim at reaching a consensus
    about Bulgaria's assessment of the tragic events and giving a clear
    statement in defense of historical truth as the US and Sweden have
    done.

    US Congressional Foreign Affairs Committee and the Swedish Parliament
    recently approved resolutions to brand the 1915 killing of Armenians
    in the Ottoman Empire as genocide, stirring outrage in Turkey.
