Greek, Assyrian and other Christian peoples residing in the territory

"The National Assembly of Armenia has urged the world parliaments to
recognize genocide of other Christian peoples, including the Pontic
Greeks," Sharmazanov said.
The two parties discussed regional security issues as well as Greece's
