/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Leaders of Nor Serund Association of Armenians
of Georgia have sent a message of gratitude to head of the EU
delegation in Georgia Torben Holtze expressing gratitude to the
European Parliament and all EU citizens for adoption of recognition
of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 as a compulsory
condition for Turkey’s accession to the EU.

“This move reaffirmed the EU is one of the largest bulwarks of
democracy and human rights protection throughout the globe. The
Armenian Genocide is an outrage not only against the Armenian people,
but also the whole of the humanity. We consider recognition of the
Armenian Genocide is important not only to Armenia, Armenians of the
world, but also to the entire international community. Only by means of
censuring of crimes of the type these can be avoided in the future. We
welcome EU stand and hope it will help Turkey put up with its past and
overcome the complex, which being conveyed from generation to another,
poses problems in relations between neighbors. Let us on behalf of
the Armenian community of Georgia express profound gratitude for
your constructive decision, as well as efforts for recognition of
the Armenian Genocide, the message says.
