/PanARMENIAN.Net/ By a vote of almost equal number for and against the
PACE supported the creation of the European Center for Commemoration
of Displacement and Ethnic Cleansing Victims. However, during a vote
over specific proposals on establishment of that Center, the necessary
two thirds of votes were not gathered.

By Resolution 1522, adopted by a majority vote, the PACE underscored
that the Center will not deal with matters of deportation of Jews or
compensation for lost property, while it "will remind Europeans about
their history of forced migration, promote reconciliation, serve a
tool for conflict prevention," reports the PACE Communication Office.
