/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Parliament of Venezuela adopted a resolution on
July 14 recognizing the Armenian Genocide, introduced by Parliament
Member Victor Hugo Morales and lawyer Janet Madris. Archbishop Komitas
Ohanian and Grigor Postalian represented Venezuela’s Armenian community
at the Parliament session. The resolution also calls on the European
Union to deny Turkey a European Union membership unless and until that
country recognized the Armenian Genocide. The Cilicia Catholicosate
and Catholicos Aram I have greatly contributed to the years-long
effort that crowned with success on July 14.
