ARMENIAN GENOCIDE MEMORIAL TO BE ERECTED IN GENEVA
15:40, 16 Oct 2014
An Armenian Genocide Memorial will be erected in Geneva's Ariana Park
in the near future. Deputy Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly
Edward Sharmazanov hailed the initiative at the meeting with Claude
Hesh, the First Vice-President of the Swiss Council of States. The
meeting took place on the sidelines of the 131st Assembly of the
Inter-Parliamentary Union in Geneva.
The Deputy Speaker highly appreciated the current level of
Armenian-Swiss cooperation. Sharmazanov also praised Switzerland's
balanced position on the Karabakh issue and positively assessed the
mediating efforts towards normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations.
He noted, however, that Turkey continues to turn down the efforts
targeted at mending ties with Armenia and poses preconditions.
Edward Sharmazanov expressed gratitude for the adoption of a
bill recognizing the Armenian Genocide by the National Council of
Switzerland. He noted that the recognition and condemnation of such
crimes is important for their prevention in the future.
The Deputy Speaker appreciated the initiative of erecting an Armenian
Genocide memorial in Geneva's Ariana Park. He invited Claude Hesh to
Yerevan to participate in the events dedicated to the 100thanniversary
of the Armenian Genocide.
