The Iranian Armenian community expects that the Majlis and government
of Iran will officially recognize the Armenian Genocide, said
Robert Beglaryan, IRI Majlis member of Armenian origin, the Iranian
information agency ISNA reports.
“We call on the government and the President Rouhani in particular
to call the real facts by their name. That will make it possible to
support the security in the region,” the Armenian-Iranian MP said
in his speech in Majlis referring to the centennial of the Armenian
Genocide.
“Was the Genocide of the Armenians and Assyrians condemned and its
perpetrators punished, the world would be better now, and we would not
witness the genocides in Rwanda, Bosnia, Palestine, Darfur and Gaza,”
Robert Beglaryan added.
The Armenian Apostolic Church in Iran comprises three dioceses:
those of Atrpatakan, Tehran and Isfahan. The interests of the
Iranian Armenians in the IRI Majlis are represented by two MPs –
Karen Khanlaryan and Robert Beglaryan.
