/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Uruguay is not only the first state to recognize the
Armenian Genocide in 1965 but also the state, which has abided by its
position during the recent 40 years, Yerkir online reports. The parliament
has gathered a weighty paper-case containing bills, resolutions, decisions
and statements in support of the Genocide in support of Hay Dat. A motion to
name one of Montevideo’s streets “April 24, 1915,” was introduced to the
city council by its member Raffi Hunanian about a year ago. The issue was
included into the agenda and later the city council passed a decision to
name a broad strip in the central Montevideo the Square of the Armenian
People’s Genocide. The opening ceremony will take place on April 22.
