ALL EUROPEAN STATES MUST CONDEMN ARMENIAN GENOCIDE – UKRAINIAN JOURNALIST
April 01, 2013 | 18:02
It will be difficult to achieve an unbiased consideration of tragic
historic events, unless the governments and people of Europe condemn
the Armenian Genocide, Ukrainian journalist said.
Arthur Rudzitsky, president of the Association of European Journalists,
called the 1915 massacres of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire “a
genocide and crime against humanity”.
“I am confident that all European states must adopt a bill condemning
this terrible chapter of the world history,” Analitika.at.ua quotes
Rudzitsky.
The fact of the Armenian Genocide is recognized by many states. It was
first recognized in 1965 by Uruguay. In general, the Armenian Genocide
in Ottoman Turkey has already been recognized by 21 countries and 43
out of 50 U.S. states.
Turkey denies accusations of mass killings of Armenians during the
First World War and is extremely sensitive to criticism voiced by
the western states.
