WORLD HAS DE FACTO RECOGNIZED GENOCIDE, SAYS ARMENIAN PARLIAMENT SPEAKER
17:33 * 08.12.14
The world has practically recognized the Armenian Genocide, and the
countries which haven't yet done so probably have economic reasons for
that, the National Assembly's speaker said today at a press conference
with a Uruguayan counterpart.
"If any state has not recognized it, that doesn't mean they haven't
developed the necessary approaches. Those who do not admit the fact
of Genocide become a participant in that," Galust Sahakyan said,
condemning particularly Turkey's denial policies.
For his part, Head of Uruguay's Senate Danilo Astori praised Armenia's
friendly relations with his country. "Its foundations were laid back
in 1920 when the League of Nations was coming into existence. Our
relations later embarked on a very important round after Uruguay
recognized the Genocide in 1965 and the independence of Armenia in
1991. It's our desire today to continue the relations with Armenia
in different sectors, both economic and political, to strengthen the
bilateral ties," he noted.
Asked whether Uruguay may be the first country to also recognize
Nagorno-Karabakh, Mr Astori said, "My country is working in
that direction; our country's government wishes to establish good
relations with those states which are involved in the settlement of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict."
