ARMENIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY COMMENDS ARGENTINA’S SENATE FOR RECONFIRMING
GENOCIDE CONDEMNING STATEMENT
YEREVAN, AUGUST 22, ARMENPRESS: Armenian foreign ministry commended today
Argentina’s National Senate for its July 27 resolution that came to
reconfirm its previous resolution condemning the Armenian genocide committed
by the government of the Ottoman Turkey at the beginning of the 20-th
century.
Armenian foreign ministry said the July 27 resolution was the second such
resolution passed by the National Senate in 2005 coming after last April 20
statement that condemned Turkish authorities for their consistent denial of
the genocide.
The April 20 statement was retaliated by a Turkish note of protest that
described it as “irresponsible, ” but on May 5 the Turkish note was rejected
by Argentina’s lawmakers who said it was ‘groundless.”
