VIENNA—The Austrian Parliament drafted a statement on April 21 condemning the Armenian Genocide and calling on Turkey to face its past. According to sources, all six factions of parliament came together and agreed on the statement, which will be presented to the public on April 22.
The news comes a day after Germany announced its plan to “stand behind” a resolution affirming the Armenian Genocide, which will be voted on April 24.
Germany’s Parliament is set to use the term “genocide” in a resolution, and the government said on April 20 that it will support the motion sponsored by the ruling parties.
A draft of the German resolution notes the Armenians’ fate is “exemplary for the history of mass destruction, ethnic cleansing, expulsions, and genocides by which the 20th century is marked in such a terrible way.”
Noose is getting tighter and tighter.
No one wants to be the last man out. It’s becoming a race of who will be first at the gates. Unfortunately, countries such as Georgia, Belarus, Syria, Iran, Mexico and all the other backward counties don’t even realize that the race is on.
Thank you Austria may God Bless you all.
It’s good to see Austria recognize the Armenian genocide.
Thank You.
