“European Call” Published On Occasion Of 90th Anniversary Of Armenia

“EUROPEAN CALL” PUBLISHED ON OCCASION OF 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE PRESENTED TO HEADS OF EU COUNTRIES

BRUSSELS, JUNE 17, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The European
Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy presented “European
Call” published on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the
Armenian Genocide to heads of 25 EU member countries who arrived in
Brussels to participate in the European Union Summit on June 16. As
Noyan Tapan was informed by the European Armenian Federation for
Justice and Democracy, the call has already been signed by hundreds
of European unions, organizations and institutions which appealed
to the Council of Europe and the European Commission to include the
resolutions having adopted by the European Parliament since 2000
and demanding the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey
in the official documents of negotiations on the issue of Turkey’s
membership to the European Union. “Producing an impression that it
wants to undertake its responsibility, the Turkish state in reality
continues its agressive policy of betrayal of the Genocide, imposing
the Union not to touch upon that issue,” the call reads. “Hence,
only a stable and decisive position of the European Union will
support Turkey’s significant progress in this issue,” Hilda Choboyan,
the Chairwoman of the European Armenian Federation for Justice and
Democracy stated. “European citizens whom we represent, find that
the democratic voice of the European Union expressed by the European
Parliament, will find a response in European decisions,” she mentioned.
