“We must realize that European parliament have adopted the fact of
the Genocide 20 years ago. In this case it is important to understand
why the European Parliament suddenly remember it today, and not
that time when the EU conditions of membership have been forming for
Turkey”, said vice-speaker of parliament RA Tigran Torosian during the
conversation with Panorama.am and added, “This means the problems that
have important moral basis are used in political life with political
meaning. It is clear that today the European institutions apply a
serious pressure on Turkey and that’s why they remember the problem of
Genocide again. This is of course positive step within the procedure of
the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. But we must see the voting
results and do a serious work with those parliaments that haven’t
yet recognized the Armenian Genocide but their deputies voted ‘for’
in European parliament. This is obviously a moral problem. If you vote
‘for’ in one place, why don’t you do the same in your parliament? I
think it is a real opportunity to enlarge the number of European
countries whose parliaments will recognize the Armenian Genocide.

It will give us confidence inside of the European community. It
will allow to see that there is respect toward us and “democracy”,
“human rights” are the basis of European community, and not beautiful
words that are used for political purposes”. /Panorama.am/
