SYDNEY, OCTOBER 31, ARMENIANS TODAY- NOYAN TAPAN. Lately, the issue of
recognizing the Armenian Genocide was raised in parliament of North
Shore when North Shore Federal MP Joe Hockey called for Australia to
officially recognise the "slaughter" that killed more than a million
Armenians during World War I. Mr Hockey said his own grandfather
had survived "the massacre" but his friends and family had not. He
said Australia had prospered through immigration from many countries
including Armenia.
The North Shore has a large Armenian community.
