Recently, Social Democrat Hunchakian Central Committee member Diego
Karamanoukian along with SDHP Uruguay Executive Committee Chairman
Louis Aprazyan met with Member of Uruguay Senate Rafael Michelini in
the General Assembly of Uruguay. The discussion at the meeting focused
around Michelini's proposed legislation to include in the State budget
expenditures for the establishment of an Armenian Genocide museum,
which shall operate in a state-allocated building and have a Genocide
Research Center.
The draft legislation aims to publicize and inform patrons on the
horrible crime of genocide committed against the Armenian people in
1915. The museum will also contain historical and cultural information
on the Armenian community of Uruguay.
Senator Michelini updated the SDHP leadership that all of the political
factions within the Parliament have given their preliminary consent
to the draft legislation, paving the way for a vote in the General
Assembly soon.
The Hunchakian representatives expressed the Party's appreciation as
well as continued unconditional support for the Senators endeavors
towards the Armenian Cause, noting his unceasing commitment to not
only commemorate the Armenian Genocide but also the martyrdom of 20
Hunchakian intellectuals and activists who were hung in July of 1915
at the Sultan Bayazid square of Constantinople after spending two
years in terrible conditions in Turkish prisons, Masis Post weekly
online newspaper reported.
