/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Members of Uruguay’s Armenian community joined in the
protest demonstration on October 3 outside the European Union mission
in Montevideo, organized by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation’s
“Armenia” Youth Union. Protesters held up Armenian tricolors and
posters reading “Historic truth cannot be hidden,” “Turkey, admit to
your crime – the Armenian Genocide,” and “No to Turkey’s accession to
EU unless Armenian Genocide recognition.” Ethnic Armenian member of the
Uruguay Parliament Lilian Keshishian, accompanied by MP Ivan Posatas,
joined the protesters. A delegation of the protesters handed to the
EU representative a petition signed by 30,000 people, demanding that
EU denies Turkey’s bid unless that country recognizes the Armenian
Genocide, Yerkir online reported.
