19:21, 22 April, 2015
YEREVAN, 22 APRIL, ARMENPRESS. Sean Crowe, speaker for political
affairs of the Sinn Fein political party, which is the political wing
of the Irish Republican Army, has called on the Irish government to
officially recognize the Armenian Genocide, as posted on the Irish
political figure's official website, according to "Armenpress". "This
year my colleague Aengus O Snodaigh submitted to the parliament a
petition, urging the Irish government to officially recognize the
Armenian Genocide in the year marking the 100th anniversary. April
24th is the day of remembrance of the Armenian Genocide.
His answer was totally inadequate. He stated that the Irish government
has not adopted and will not adopt a position on that issue, unlike
the issues of the other genocides of the 20th century such as the
Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide," Crowe said, adding that there
are verbal, written and diplomatic testimonies proving the Armenian
Genocide perpetrated in the Ottoman Empire.
"If we don't recognize the past, we can't learn from our mistakes and
move forward. We have to guarantee that we are against the distortion
of history," he said.
