European Parliament includes the Armenian Genocide and genocide denials in the EU’s Human Rights policy
Today, on 12 March, the European Parliament has adopted the Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy in the world 2013. Several clauses of this document are relevant to Armenia, especially the paragraph that "calls, ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, on all the Member States to acknowledge it, and encourages the Member States and the EU institutions to contribute further to its recognition."
European Friends of Armenia (EuFoA) warmly welcomes this European Parliament report. EuFoA Director, Mr Eduardo Lorenzo Ochoa, comments: "After a long break, the European Parliament reasserts its position on the Armenian Genocide, and again reaffirms that genocides and their denials are a human rights matter. During this special year, we are thankful for this strong signal of European solidarity with the Armenian people."
