/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Unanimously supporting local Armenian community
leader Nikolay Adikhanyan’s address, the municipal authorities
of Izium, Ukraine, have decided to apply to Ukrainian President
and Supreme Rada with the request of enshrining in the country’s
legislation a clause recognizing and condemning Armenian Genocide in
Ottoman Empire.
This is a very important event not only for Ukrainian-Armenians
but also for the entire Armenian nation, Nikolay Adohanyan told an
Analitika.at.ua correspondent.
At that, he expressed special gratitude to Head of Izium municipal
council Alexander Bozhkov, secretary of municipal council Kostandin
Olshansky, Deputy Mayor Aleksey Polyakh and all parliamentarians and
experts who contributed to the initiative.
This is already the third decision made in Ukraine On May 19, 2005,
the Crimea Supreme Council made decision to declare April 24 as a Day
of Commemorating Armenian Genocide Victims. The second decision was
made on November 26, 2009 when Goloseevsk district council in Kiev
condemned the Armenian Genocide.
