    CYPRUS PARLIAMENT TO HOST ARMENIAN GNEOCIDE EXHIBITION

    14:37, 14 Oct 2014

    An exhibition on Armenian Genocide will be organized at the Parliament
    of Cyprus. The issue was discussed within the framework of the visit of
    the Vice-President of the Armenian National Assembly Edward Sharmazanov
    to Switzerland.

    On the sidelines of the 131st Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary
    Union (IPU) in Geneva, Sharmazanov held a meeting with member of the
    House of Representatives of Cyprus, ethnic Armenian Marios Garoyian
    and head of the Cypriot delegation to the IPU Averof Neophytou.

    The Vice-Speaker noted that Armenia and Cyprus are tied by rich
    historic heritage, religious values, as well as mutual understanding
    between the two peoples.

    Edward Sharmazanov highly appreciated Marios Garoyian's personal
    contribution to the reinforcement and development of Armenian-Cypriot
    ties, especially during his presidency of the Parliament of Cyprus.

    Sharmazanov attached importance to the close cooperation and reciprocal
    support within different international and regional organizations. He
    also referred to the Nagorno Karabakh and Cyprus issues, noting that
    the positions of Armenia and Cyprus on the issues do not contradict
    each other. He stressed that Turkey's occupation of part of Cyprus
    and the blockade of Armenia are unacceptable.

    Speaking about the necessity of international recognition and
    condemnation of the Armenian Genocide, Sharmazanov noted with gratitude
    that the Cyprus Parliament was one of the first to recognize it. He
    invited Marios Garoyian to participate in the events to be organized
    on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

    The Vice-Speaker of the Armenian Parliament suggested to organize an
    exhibition dedicated to the Armenian Genocide at the Parliament of
    Cyprus, and the Cypriot side accepted the proposal.
