The unrecognized Parliament of the TRNC (Turkish Republic of Northern
Cyprus) will discuss the resolution on Armenian Genocide, Gibrahayer
e-magazine reports.

A small political party of the far left, represented by Ragip Levent
has announced that in the next session of the so-called Assembly
of the TRNC (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) he will submit a
resolution for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, honouring
the survivors of the Armenian Genocide who fled to Cyprus in the
beginning of the 20th century.

Levent said that Armenians and Turks lived in harmony for decades
and as Turkish Cypriots who witnessed the influx of the Armenians to
Cyprus have the moral obligation to make a statement towards history.

"As we are all trying to make a fresh start with the solution of the
Cyprus problem, we as Turkish Cypriots must do our bit, towards our
Armenian Cypriot compatriots," Levent concluded.
