Armenia has welcomed the criminalization of the Armenian Genocide
denial by Cyprus.
“Armenia welcomes the unanimous adoption of a bill criminalizing
the denial of the Armenian Genocide by the Cyprus Parliament. This
is a symbolic event on the threshold of the 100th anniversary of the
Armenian Genocide,” Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said
in a statement.
“By adopting this law, Cyprus made an important contribution to the
high mission of prevention of genocides and crimes against humanity,”
Minister Nalbandian stated.
