Australian Federal Parliament’s House of Representatives is holding a debate on a Motion calling on the Australian Government to recognize the Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek Genocides.

For the first time ever, a Motion has made the Australian parliamentary agenda that outright calls on the Federal Government to recognize the Armenian, Assyrian and Greek Genocides.

If the majority of speakers debate in favour of the motion, Australia’s most representative parliamentary chamber would be calling on the Federal government to fulfil the nation’s will and recognize the Armenian, Assyrian and Greek Genocides.

“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
