the Armenian genocide is planned to be discussed at the summit of the
European People's Party (EPP), the press office of Armenia's ministry
of education and science reported.

(RPA) and minister of education and science Armen Ashotyan.
The draft resolution is elaborated by the RPA, together with Orinats
Yerkir and Heritage parties. On February 10, 2012, the RPA obtained
an observer's status in the EPP. The same status was provided also
to Orinats Yerkir and Heritage Armenian parties.
Armenian Genocide was the first genocide committed in XX century.

and a half million Armenians during World War I.
The fact of the Armenian genocide is recognized by many countries,
particularly by Uruguay, Russia, France, Lithuania, most of the U.S.
states, as well as by the parliaments of Greece, Cyprus, Argentina,
Belgium, Wales, National Council of Switzerland, Common House of
Canada, the Seym of Poland and lower house of Italian parliament. -0--
