Australian MPs and Senators ask for the recognition of Greek,
Armenian and Assyrian Genocides. Malcolm Turnbull, Federal Member
for Wentworth, Joe Hockey federal Member for North Sydney and the
Shadow Treasurer, Joel Fitzgibbon former Defence Minister, Paul
Fletcher and John Alexander have forwarded this proposal before the
Australian Parliament.
In particular, Turnbull emphasized that during 1914-1923 the Ottoman
Empire committed crimes against humanity, through Armenian, Greek,
and Assyrian Genocides.
Moreover, other MPs underlined the necessity of recognizing these
genocides and that such a recognition could not be against Turkey.
In addition, Senator Nick Xenophon and Scott Morrisson have recently
proposed the recognition of the genocides, too. Members of the
Greek-Australian Council of New South Wales and representatives of
the Armenians and Assyrians have visited Canberra in order to inform
Australian Parliament about their decisions.
