The South Ossetian parliament is considering the issue of a vote on recognizing Armenian genocide, citing the Armenian diaspora’s appeal, the parliament’s press release said Wednesday, citing one of the lawmakers, reports.
“The members of the Armenian diaspora are full members of the South Ossetian society, many of whom fought for the freedom and independence of our Republic, went through the harsh times of war with us, and some of them are the descendants of the Armenians who ran away from the genocide,” lawmaker Petr Gassiev was quoted as saying in the press release.
