The members of the delegation thanked the Armenian National Assembly
and the authors of the initiative for the NA statement "On Condemning
the Genocide of Greeks and Assyrians Perpetrated in the Ottoman Turkey"
unanimously adopted on March 24.
Welcoming the delegation, Eduard Sharmazanov noted that the adoption
of the NA statement was not an aim in itself: recognizing the genocide
perpetrated in the Ottoman Turkey against the Greeks and Assyrians,
the Armenian Parliament condemns all genocides ever perpetrated. In the
NA Deputy Speaker's words, unless the genocides have been recognized
and condemned, the possibility of their repetition cannot be excluded.
In this context, Mr Sharmazanov and the guests highlighted the
necessity of recognition and condemnation of genocides perpetrated
against different nations in different times and the restoration of
the historical justice.
The interlocutors emphasized the strengthening of relations between
the Armenian and Greek fraternal peoples and the intensification of
cooperation in common issues.
The guests handed the NA Deputy Speaker books on the genocide
perpetrated against the Greek people.
