The problem of the Armenian genocide recognition in Europe should
be settled in a diplomatic way. As Armenian correspondent in France
reports, today deputy of the European Parliament Martine Roure said
this in Lion at opening of the two-day symposium "Europe – Armenian
memory".
"Some double-dealers try to deny the fact of the Armenian genocide,
but this does not do credit to them as one cannot escape the
history and should be brave to recognize the fact that took place", –
Martine Roure said. She also added that she is trying to persuade the
European countries separately to recognize the fact of the Armenian
genocide. Further this recognition will help to coordinate the points
of the relevant resolution.
Specialists on Armenian history from several European states,
including Germany and Austria will make speeches within the
frameworks of symposium, organized by the Armenian culture house in
Decines. Foreign historians prepared documents that prove the fact of
the Armenian genocide in Western Armenia at the beginning of the 20th
century. Mayors of all the cities of the region and Armenian ambassador
to France Edward Nalbandyan are taking part in the symposium.
