Baku - APA. Spanish parliament has rejected a draft proposing to
recognize the so-called "Armenian genocide", APA reports quoting the
Turkish news agency Anadolu.
The proposal was submitted by the Republican Left of Catalonia party
(ERC), with only the Basque Nationalistic Movement voting for the
draft. Other parties at the Spanish parliament, including the ruling
Spanish Socialist Workers' Party and opposition Peoples' Party,
voted against the proposal.
Peoples' Party representative Jose Maria Beneyto and socialist
Meritxell Batet said that such step would have negative impact on
Turkey-Armenia relations. Representative of Union Progreso y Democracia
Irene Lozano strongly opposed those who submitted the draft. "You have
to bewail the death of terror victims in Basque province and condemn
this terror instead of shedding crocodile tears over Armenians".
