The date of 30 November is a historic day in the campaign for
international recognition of the Armenian genocide. One of central
European countries, Slovakia, recognized the fact of the Armenian
genocide.

The resolution adopted by the Slovak parliamentarians stressed that
the 1915 Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Turkey is an undeniable fact
which Turkey must recognize on its way towards the EU accession as a
crime against humanity.

Bratislava also demanded that official Ankara lift Armenia’s
blockade. The resolution was adopted by 70 votes.
