Official: Armenians, Greeks must join forces against Turkish denial policy

Armenians and Greeks must join forces against Turkish policy of the Genocide denial, deputy parliament speaker said.

On Thursday, June 27, Eduard Sharmazanov met with the ex-speaker of Greek parliament, the head of an Armenia-Greece friendship group Apostolos Kaklamanis.

At the meeting, the ex-speaker hailed friendly ties with Armenia, noting that in 1996 his country’s parliament unanimously recognized the Armenian Genocide.

Sharmazanov, in turn, spoke of the genocide of Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians and other Christian nations in the Ottoman Turkey, noting that the National Assembly urged the parliaments worldwide to recognize the genocide of Christian nations, including Pontic Greeks.
