Armenian Genocide museum-institute, Cyprus Parliament Speaker

Armenian people, while the non-recognition of the Armenian Genocide by
some countries inspires Turkey, as reported by Phileleutheros. The
Cypriot official called upon all civilized countries to recognize the
Armenian Genocide - the most terrible crime of the 20th century.
According to Omarou, non-recognition of crimes against humanity leads
to their repetition. He also reminded that the Parliament of Cyprus
was the first in Europe to unanimously recognize the Armenian Genocide
thrice - in 1975, 1982 and 1990 respectively.
