Armenian delegation to PACE raises Armenian Genocide issue
14:53 * 28.01.15
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) is holding
its winter session in Strasbourg.
Although Armenia-related issues are not on the agenda, the Armenian
delegation is nit missing a chance to raise issues on Armenia's
agenda.
On Tuesday, Armenian delegation members Naira Karapetyan, Arpine
Hovhannisyan, Mher Shahgeldyan and Hermine Naghdalyan (head of the
delegation) exercised their right and raised the issue of the Armenian
Genocide in Ottoman Turkey.
April 24, 2015, marks the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide
in the Ottoman Empire. However, 100 years is not enough for Turkey to
admit the fact and face its own history even with the fact that as far
back as 1919 the Turkish military court convicted the organizers of
that crime.
Mistaken are all those considering the Armenian Genocide a problem of
Armenians alone. Any crime against humanity has no period of
limitation. Moreover, it involves all the mankind. Armenians, who have
for a century been seeking to have the Armenian Genocide
internationally recognized and condemned, are not solving their own
problem. Rather, they are solving a universal problem, Ms Naghdalyan
said.
