Member of the European Parliament from Cyprus, Kostas Mavrides, stated in Brussels that the denial of the Armenian Genocide by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s regime is not only a continuation of the genocide itself, but also a dangerous seed for the recurrence of such crimes.

“The Armenian Genocide and crimes against humanity like it must not only be condemned and studied as historical facts but also understood as moral lessons for the present and future,” Mavrides emphasized, Armenpress reports.
