The European Parliament is neither an institute for history nor a
tribunal but it has a moral obligation to voice its view on important
anniversaries such as this 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide,
the Czech MEP Michaela Šojdrová told Armenian News - NEWS.am.
The MEP said she had voted for the adoption of the resolution on the
Armenian Genocide. "I welcome that the European Parliament has called
for official recognition of Armenian Genocide, while encouraging both
parties, Armenians and Turks, to find a way for mutual reconciliation,"
Michaela Šojdrová said.
On April 15, the European Parliament adopted a resolution by a majority
vote. The resolution calls on Turkey to recognize the atrocities of
1915 as genocide, confront its past and make efforts in the direction
of actual reconciliation between the Armenian and Turkish people.
