The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) published during its today's full session a statement recognizing and condemning the Armenian Genocide, member of the Armenian delegation in PACE and a Prosperous Armenia Party MP Naira Zohrabyan told Tert.am in a phone talk from Strasbourg.
According to Zohrabyan the Armenian delegation had circulated a written draft of the statement yesterday.
"Taking account the fact that the 95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide was completed this year and stating that the recognition of the Genocide contributes to the respect for human dignity and prevention of crimes against humanity, citing the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by different countries, the signatories of the Assembly call on Assembly members to take necessary steps for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire in 1915, which will contribute to the recognition of the Armenian Genocide also by Turkey and that, in turn, will contribute to the normalization between Armenia and Turkey and the establishment of peace in the region," Zohrabyan briefly presented the content of the statement.
She also said that representatives of more than 15 PACE member states joined the statement, among them also representatives of such states that have not recognized the Armenian Genocide yet (ex. Great Britain).
"According to the established procedure as soon as more than 20 signatures are gathered - and we have gathered far more than that - the statement is handed to the Secretariat, and today morning, at the beginning of the full session the French Deputy Francois Claude Mignon, presiding the session, publicized the statement, saying it was open for signature and anyone could join it," said Zohrabyan, drawing attention to the fact that today's session was not presided by PACE Chairman Mevlut Chavushoglu.
