YEREVAN (YERKIR) – The Parliament of Venezuela adopted a resolution
on July 14 recognizing the Armenian Genocide, introduced by Parliament
Member Victor Hugo Morales and lawyer Janet Madris.
Archbishop Komitas Ohanian and Grigor Postalian represented Venezuela’s
Armenian community at the Parliament session. The resolution also
calls on the European Union to deny Turkey a European Union membership
unless and until that country recognized the Armenian Genocide.
The Cilicia Catholicosate and Catholicos Aram I have greatly
contributed to the years-long effort that crowned with success on
July 14.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
