Nicosia, Apr 21 (CNA) — The Cyprus House of Representatives
commemorated today the Armenian genocide of 1915. The House observed
a minute’s silence in memory of the victims of this atrocity.

Speaking before the plenary, House President Demetris Christofias
described the Armenian genocide of 1915 as one of the most heinous
crimes ever committed in the history of mankind against helpless
people.

He reiterated Cypriot people’s solidarity towards the people of
Armenia, adding that despite the fact the Armenian genocide is
acknowledged by almost every country in the world, Turkey stubbornly
denies to recognize this crime.
