Chilean Parliament adopts resolution on Armenian Genocide
The House of Representative of the Chilean Parliament has passed a resolution condemning the Armenian Genocide. The resolution expresses solidarity with the Armenian nation and condemns the killings of 1.5 million Armenians between 1915 and 1923 by the Ottoman Empire. The resolution calls on the Chilean government to join the resolution adopted by the UN Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities in 1985 which recognizes the gravest crime as genocide and demands that the international community and Turkish government compensate Armenians for moral damages. The Senate, which is the upper house of Chilean Parliament, adopted a resolution on the Armenian Genocide in 2007.
