YEREVAN, MAY 20, ARMENPRESS. The
issue of declaring 2015 year of
Armenian Genocide remembrance is in
the centre of European Parliament’s
attention. The issue will be under
discussion in Strasbourg after the 8th
elections of the European Parliament. As
reports
“Armenpress”,
the
representative of the European
Parliament General Secretariat Philip
Kamaris stated this in his reply to the
letter to the President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz sent by Italian-Arab Assadakah Centre.
Previously it was reported that advancing the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, Italian-Arab
Assadakah Centre sent a letter to the President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz and the Vice
President of the European Parliament Gianni Pittella urging them to introduce a special resolution and declare
2015 year of “Memory and Conscience”.
As reports “Armenpress”, in the letter the Secretary-General of the Arab-Italian Assadakah Center Raimondo
Schiavone particularly emphasized: “The horrible and systematic massacre of the Armenian population
launched on April 24, 1915 in the Ottoman Empire. The historical and political consequences and the pain of
those terrible events of the modern history live on.”
Assadakah Centre has also declared 2015 year of remembrance in Italy as well. The Responsible for Foreign
Relations of the centre, journalist Talal Khrais stated that the action is dedicated to the memory of the
Armenian Genocide victims.
The fact of the Armenian Genocide by the Ottoman government has been documented, recognized, and
affirmed in the form of media and eyewitness reports, laws, resolutions, and statements by many states and
international organizations. The complete catalogue of all documents categorizing the 1915 wholesale
massacre of the Armenian population in Ottoman Empire as a premeditated and thoroughly executed act of
genocide, is extensive. Uruguay was the first country to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide in 1965.
The massacres of the Armenian people were officially condemned and recognized as genocide in accordance
with the international law by France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Russia,
Poland, Lithuania, Greece, Slovakia, Cyprus, Lebanon, Uruguay, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Canada, Vatican
and Australia.
