/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Stephen Harper, the Prime Minister of Canada, has
made a clear statement recognizing the historical fact of the Armenian
Genocide, reports the Armenian National Committee of Canada (ANCC). In
response to a reporter’s question regarding the Armenian Genocide,
the Prime Minister said: “That was a vote held in the last Parliament
[Motion M-380 – April 21, 2004]. As you recall, Parliament passed that
resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide. Our party supported that
resolution and we continue to recognize that parliamentary resolution”.
Dr. Vagharch Ehramdjian, Chairman of the Armenian National Committee of
Canada (ANCC), thanked Prime Minister Harper, on behalf of the Canadian
Armenian community, for his historic statement. “Stephen Harper’s
principled and righteous stand in recognizing the Armenian Genocide
will finally bring closure to the Canadian-Armenian community,”
said the ANCC Chairman.
