Yerkir.am
June 22, 2007
A delegation of the ARF Hay Dat Committee of Greece visited on June
20 the Chilean embassy in Greece to welcome the Chilean Senate’s
adoption of an Armenian Genocide resolution.
The delegation was received by Chilean Ambassador Sophia Pracio
and thanked her on behalf of the Armenians. Amb. Pracio note the
courageous position of the country to kept to the justice and truth,
quoting the denialist stance of the Turkish government.
Taking into account that the Armenian Genocide will go to the president
for signing after being adopted by the Senate, the issue remains to
be in focus of political circles.
Chile is the fourth Latin America country, after Uruguay, Venezuela
and Argentina, to have recognized the Armenian genocide.
During the one-hour meeting, the Armenian delegation had an opportunity
to brief the Chilean officials on the committee’s activities, speak
about the situation in Armenia, Turkey’s blockade of Armenia and
detail them about the Armenian cause.
Pracio, in turn, told about the political situation in Chile.
