The Social-Democratic (Hnchakyan) Party sent a letter to the Bulgarian
parliament’s Social-Democratic and Socialist Parties.

"Dear friends, the Bulgarian parliament will soon discuss the
bill on recognizing and condemning the Armenian Genocide. Bulgaria
and the heroic Bulgarians must know us Armenians very well because
Bulgaria has also suffered numerous deprivations under the dominance
of Ottoman Turkey for hundreds of years. However, the Bulgarian and
Armenian nations are lucky because they have never broken down and have
continued to fight to be liberated from Turkish dominance. The Haytoug
movement that sparked in Bulgaria gradually moved toward the Armenian
highland where the Armenian nation also raised the flag of liberation.

Dear friends, with the purpose to implement pan-Turkism, Turkey
perpetrated a monstrous crime against a nation that had been living
in its historical Homeland since ancient times.

Turkey’s anti-Armenian policy at the highest level of government
continues to this day. What’s more, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan’s
announcement regarding the deportation of illegal Armenians in Turkey
is the silent witness of the fact that Turkish state officials still
haven’t forgotten the genocidal character of their ancestors and can
take that step at an appropriate moment.

As an ideological political party that has been fighting for liberty
and justice since 1887, the Social Democratic (Hnchakyan) Party is
calling on you to take advantage of your opportunities to pass the bill
on condemnation of the Armenian Genocide in the Bulgarian parliament.

Genocides are a crime not only for one nation, but for all nations
and countries and condemnation of those crimes may prevent genocides
from happening in any corner of the globe," as stated in the letter
of the Social-Democratic (Hnchakyan) Party led by Gevorg Perkuperkian.
