EURONEST PA CO-CHAIR SAYS ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION IMPORTANT
YEREVAN, March 18. / ARKA /. Euronest Parliamentary Assembly co-chair
Heidi Hautala described a resolution adopted yesterday by the Euronest
Parliamentary Assembly on the centenary of the Armenian Genocide as
a very important decision, when speaking to reporters in Yerevan
today on the sidelines of the Euronest PA session. The resolution
was endorsed by 33 votes, 4 votes were against.
"Personally, I attach great importance to this resolution. Before
the start of the plenary session of the Euronest PA, we visited the
Genocide Memorial in Tsitsernakaberd, and adopted this important
decision,' said Hautala.
Prior to the vote a German MP Kurt Fleckenstein said that "it is
impossible to build a good future, without recognizing the fact
of genocide."
One of those who voted against was an MP from Ukraine Sergey Alekseev,
who said their position in this matter does not coincide with the
Armenian, as Armenia does not support their position on Russian
aggression against Ukraine and refuses to recognize the Holodomor.
Hautala said the fourth ordinary session of the Euronest PA
was successful, having adopted a number of important resolutions
concerning the expansion of cooperation with the countries embraced
by EU's Eastern Partnership program.
Euronest PA session was held in Yerevan on 17-18 March. The agenda
included four main reports by the standing committees of the National
Assembly of Armenia on cooperation issues in 2014-2020 under the
European Neighborhood and Eastern Partnership programs.-0-
