On December 14, 2010, the Human Rights Committee of the Balearic
Parliament unanimously adopted a resolution considering “the fate
suffered by the Armenian people between 1915 and 1921 as a Genocide”,
in accordance with the UN Convention on the prevention, and the
Punishment of the crime of genocide, adopted in December 1948, the
Armenian National Committee of Spain (Consejo Nacional Armenio de
España) reported.
The European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy (EAFJD)
expressed its satisfaction to the initiators of this historical
resolution and is keen on giving its support to the Members of the
Human Rights Committee of the Balearic Parliament for this courageous
act.
“It is a big step in the fight against genocides and denials,” declared
Hilda Tchoboian, President of the European Armenian Federation.
“These successive recognitions in Europe aim to Turkey to involve
itself in a process of justice with respect to the Armenian people,”
she affirmed.
