Members of Uruguay's Armenian community joined in the protest demonstration on October 3 outside the European Union mission in Montevideo, organized by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation's "Armenia" Youth Union. Protesters held up Armenian tricolors and posters reading "Historic truth cannot be hidden," "Turkey, admit to your crime - the Armenian Genocide," and "No to Turkey's accession to EU unless Armenian Genocide recognition." Ethnic Armenian member of the Uruguay Parliament Lilian Keshishian, accompanied by MP Ivan Posatas, joined the protesters. A delegation of the protesters handed to the EU representative a petition signed by 30,000 people, demanding that EU denies Turkey's bid unless that country recognizes the Armenian Genocide, Yerkir online reported.
