The refugees from Sumgait, Baku and Gandzak headed by Larisa
Alaverdyan, member of Heritage Party, member of the Standing
Parliamentary Commission on European Integration, took part in a
protest procession to the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial dedicated to the
Armenian Genocide victims on Tuesday.
"The demand of the Armenian Genocide recognition is a political
demand. Given that the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in
1915 is a crime against the humanity, it must be punished by all means.
Armenia must demand punishment for the crime. And this demand should
be on the path of legal recognition of the Genocide", Alaverdyan said.
She expressed hope that the idea of legal recognition of the Armenian
Genocide will reach the intended effect.
The Genocide of Armenians has been recognized by 42 United States as
well as by 21 countries, including Canada, Argentina, Switzerland,
Uruguay, Russia, Belgium, France, Poland, Slovakia, the Netherlands,
Greece, Cyprus, Vatican, Sweden, Lithuania. The European Parliament
passed a resolution recognizing the fact of Armenian Genocide in the
Ottoman Turkey on June 18 1987 and demanded the Council of Europe
exert pressure on Turkey in order that country recognizes the Armenian
Genocide. Turkey still denies the genocide of 1.5 million Armenians
in 1915-1923.
