 Armenian Genocide recognition by Texas is clear response to brazen
conduct of Turks in Washington: Vice-Speaker Sharmazanov



YEREVAN, MAY 20, ARMENPRESS. Vice Speaker of Armenia’s Parliament
Eduard Sharmazanov thanked the US Texas House of Representatives from
the Parliament’s floor for recognizing and condemning the Armenian
Genocide.

“Texas is the 46th US state to recognize and condemn the Armenian
Genocide. I believe we must welcome this step and thank our American
partners for this step”, Sharmazanov said during the Parliament
session.

He emphasized that this step of the Texas House of Representatives was
a very clear response to Turkey’s denial policy and the recent
impudent conduct of Turks in Washington.

On May 16, Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians and Kurds held a protest
against Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to Washington
outside the Turkish Ambassador’s residence.

Erdogan’s security detail violently attacked and battered the peaceful
protesters.

Later, the Voice of America released a footage showing personally
Erdogan giving orders to his bodyguards.

Erdogan calmly watches how his security detail is beating up the
protesters, including women, and then a few bodyguards hurry back to
the president to brief him.
