The Austrian parliament started its work Wednesday with the minute
of silence to honor victims of the Armenian Genocide.

Six factions of the Austrian parliament adopted a joint statement and
recognized the Armenian Genocide. President of the National Council
of Austria Doris Bures said it was a call for reconciliation between
the Armenians and Turks. She used “genocide” term while speaking
about the 1915 events.

The statement notes that Austria is obligated to describe what had
occurred as genocide and to condemn it.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
