COMMUNISTS OF CIS COUNTRIES APPEAL PRESIDENTS OF THEIR STATES TO
RECOGNIZE GENOCIDE OF ARMENIANS AT OFFICIAL LEVEL

YEREVAN, JANUARY 26. ARMINFO. The Council of Union of Communist
Parties (CUCP) adopted the Statement “On Genocide of Armenians in
1915” at its regular sitting held in Moscow January 22, the first
secretary of the Central Committee of Armenia’s Communist Party Rouben
Tovmasyan told ARMINFO.

Leaders of the Communist Parties of the former soviet republics called
the Genocide of Armenians one of the most criminal actions of world
imperialism. It is reminded in the statement that several European
countries, such as France, Slovenia and others, recognized the direct
responsibility of Turkey for that bloody crime towards humanity and
demand from Turkey to admit the historical responsibility for
Armenians’ Genocide as a condition for accession to the EU. It is
also emphasized that the USA and some satellites are conducting open
pro-Turkish policy, on the one hand calling all the people to fight
against terrorism, and, on the other hand, preventing world-wide
condemnation of the Armenians’ Genocide.

The draft of the CUCP was proposed by the delegation of Communist
Party of Armenia and was accepted unanimously. According to
R. Tovmasyan, none of the delegations prevented adopting of the
statement.

To note, the Communist Parties of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova,
Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Kirghizia form the
Council Union of communist parties. -R-
