ATHENS, JUNE 22, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. On June 20 the
represantation of the ARFD commission of Hay Dat in Greece visited
Chile’s Embassy in Athens and celebrated the recent resolution on the
recognition of the Armenian Genocide adopted by the Senate of Chile.
According to the information provided to Noyan Tapan by the ARFD Hay
Dat commission in Greece, Sofia Prats, the Ambassador of Chile,
received the ARFD delegation and was addressed with acknowledging and
congratulatory words on behalf of the Armenian people.
As the resolution concerning the recognition of the Armenian Genocide
should be submitted for the President’s signature after being ratified
by the Senate, political circles are still interested in this question,
taking into account the fact that Chile is the fourth amongst the
Latin-American countries, which recognizes the Armenian Genocide, thus
joining Uruguay, Venezuela, and Argentina.
During the visit that lasted an hour the members of the ARFD Hay Dat
commission informed officials of their activities, spoke about the
situation in Armenia, touched upon the blockade of Armenia implemented
by Turkey, and provided a lot of information concerning the Armenian
request.
