    Member-churches of World Council of Churches going to recognize the
    Armenian Genocide in 2015, according to the chairman of the
    International Association to Fight Unfounded Armenian Allegations
    (ASIM-DER) Goksel Gulbey.

    APA quotes Gulbey as saying that for recognition of the Armenian
    Genocide, the world churches united against Turkey and are going to
    exert pressure on Ankara using religion: "For recognition of the
    Armenian Genocide and compensation claims at the anniversary of
    Armenian Genocide, the WCC member-churches decided to hold
    international conference in Geneva with the participation of
    international organizations, lawyers and human right defenders,
    organize prayer ceremony to commemorate victims of the Armenian
    Genocide in the Geneva Cathedral and invite WCC member-churches to
    prayer."

    The ASIMDER chairman also said that the churches in Azerbaijan and
    Turkey are members of the WCC and will join this conference and called
    on relevant state bodies of both countries to warn churches and
    religious leaders.
