la motion > deposee par Jean Biancucci au nom

Le 24 avril 1915 debutait l’extermination des Armeniens de l’Empire
ottoman, par le regime Jeune-Turc, ce qui eut pour consequence la
disposition quasi-totale du peuple armenien de sa terre d’origine et
la dispersion des survivants dans le monde entier.

Considerant que 100 ans après, cette tragedie de l’histoire nous
interpelle. Le peuple corse, ses elus doivent prendre leur part dans
la prise de conscience et la reconnaissance de ce crime contre le
peuple armenien,

Considerant que l’Assemblee de Corse, a travers ses sensibilites
doit marquer de manière significative sa volonte de contribuer a la
reparation historique de ce drame international,

Considerant en conformite avec la loi francaise N° 2001-70 du
29 janvier 2001 et la resolution du Parlement Europeen en date du
18 juin 1987, que >, tel que defini par la
Convention des Nations Unies pour la prevention et la repression du
crime de genocide du 9 decembre 1948,

Considerant que la Turquie qui souhaite adherer a l’Union europeenne
doit faire face a son passe,

Assemblee de Corse

Demande :

– Que la Turquie reconnaisse le crime de genocide perpetre par le
regime Jeune-Turc a l’encontre du peuple armenien.

ARF YOUTH ORGANIZATION DEMANDS THAT GERMANY CALL ON TURKEY TO RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

YEREVAN, April 9. / ARKA /. A youth organization affiliated with the
Armenian Revolutionary Federation/Dashnaktsutyun (ARF) party protested
today outside the German embassy in Yerevan demanding that the German
government call on Turkey to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

“We demand that the German government urge Turkey to recognize the
Armenian Genocide. Germany’s opinion is important to us since it
is the country that has confronted with a dark page in its history
and is still paying its price,’ a member of the organization Ani
Khachatryan said.

The protesters also called on Germany to express more clearly its
position on the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire by adopting
a law criminalizing the denial of the Armenian Genocide.

The protesters wanted to hand a letter with their demands to ambassador
Rainer Morel, but he did not come out of the embassy.

Similar protests are being held in 17 countries around the world. I

In June, 2005 the German Bundestag passed a resolution that “honors
and commemorates the victims of violence, murder and expulsion among
the Armenian people before and during the First World War”.

The resolution also states that ‘the German parliament deplores the
acts of the Government of the Ottoman Empire regarding the almost
complete destruction of Armenians in Anatolia and also the inglorious
role of the German Reich in the face of the organized expulsion and
extermination of Armenians which it did not try to stop.’

The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the twentieth century.

According to Armenian and many other historians, up to 1.5 million
Armenians were killed starting in 1915 in a systematic campaign by
the government of Turkey. Turkey has been denying it for decades.

The Armenian genocide was recognized by tens of countries. The first
was Uruguay that did so in 1965. Other nations are Russia, France,
Italy, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Poland, Lithuania, Slovakia, Sweden,
Switzerland, Greece, Cyprus, Lebanon, Canada, Venezuela, Argentina,
42 U.S. states.

It was recognized also by the Vatican, the European Parliament, the
World Council of Churches and other international organizations. -0-
