VENEZUELAN PARLIAMENT RECOGNIZED ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Parliament of Venezuela adopted a resolution on July 14 recognizing the Armenian Genocide, introduced by Parliament Member Victor Hugo Morales and lawyer Janet Madris. Archbishop Komitas Ohanian and Grigor Postalian represented Venezuela's Armenian community at the Parliament session. The resolution also calls on the European Union to deny Turkey a European Union membership unless and until that country recognized the Armenian Genocide. The Cilicia Catholicosate and Catholicos Aram I have greatly contributed to the years-long effort that crowned with success on July 14.
