Assyrians call on the Armenian National Assembly to recognize the
Assyrian Genocide committed in the Ottoman Empire during the First
World War.

Assyrian Association "Hayadta" has addressed a letter to NA Speaker
Hovik Abrahamyan stating that the recognition of the Assyrian
Genocide by the Armenian parliament will raise Armenia’s image on
the international arena, strengthen pressure on Turkey and quicken
recognition of the Armenian Genocide by other countries.

According to the federation, the death toll of the Assyrian genocide
totaled 750 000
