An Italian Senator from the Democratic Party has demanded the Senate
to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

At an April 21 speech at the Senate Albertina Soliani, recalling
that April 24 is commemorated in Armenia as the day of the Armenian
Genocide, said the following.

"We call on all our colleagues to commemorate the remembrance of
the victims together with the Armenian community in Italy and in
the Republic of Armenia. We do believe that the recognition and
acknowledgment of that atrocity will establish a new and stable basis
for cooperation between Armenia and Turkey," said Senator Soliani,
adding that Italy’s Senate should recognize the Armenian Genocide.
