Armenian Genocide recognized by one more Ukrainian town
Unanimously supporting local Armenian community leader Nikolay Adikhanyan's address, the municipal authorities of Izium, Ukraine, have decided to apply to Ukrainian President and Supreme Rada with the request of enshrining in the country's legislation a clause recognizing and condemning Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Empire.
This is a very important event not only for Ukrainian-Armenians but also for the entire Armenian nation, Nikolay Adohanyan told an Analitika.at.ua correspondent.
At that, he expressed special gratitude to Head of Izium municipal council Alexander Bozhkov, secretary of municipal council Kostandin Olshansky, Deputy Mayor Aleksey Polyakh and all parliamentarians and experts who contributed to the initiative.
This is already the third decision made in Ukraine On May 19, 2005, the Crimea Supreme Council made decision to declare April 24 as a Day of Commemorating Armenian Genocide Victims. The second decision was made on November 26, 2009 when Goloseevsk district council in Kiev condemned the Armenian Genocide.
