/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Serbian parliament intends to discuss a draft
resolution on the Armenian Genocide, introduced by Serbian Radical
Party (SRS).
According to SRS spokesman Zoran Krasic, Serbian parliament will
discuss the draft resolution in the near future.
The Armenian Genocide (1915-23) was the deliberate and systematic
destruction of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during
and just after World War I. It was characterized by massacres, and
deportations involving forced marches under conditions designed to
lead to the death of the deportees, with the total number of deaths
reaching 1.5 million.
The majority of Armenian Diaspora communities were formed by the
Genocide survivors.
