Two Spanish cities – Puente Genil and La Roda de Andalucía – have officially recognized the Armenian Genocide.

Corresponding resolutions have been unanimously adopted by the City Councils of the two countries.

The bills condemn the Turkish policy of denial and urge other Spanish cities and the authorities of Spain to follow their example and address a call to Turkey.

The Mayors of both countries have noted the preventive nature of the resolutions, stressing that the crime has no statute of limitations and emphasizing the importance of its condemnation.
