CALL TO THE EU AND BELGUIM AUTHORITIES TO RECOGNIZE THE GENOCIDE

Politics

The Belgium political bodies, condemning the policy of Turkey denying the Armenian Genocide, during the conference titled «Recognition for building the future» in the Senate building on April 18 have informed that without recognizing the Genocide Turkey cannot be considered member of the European family and the recognition of the black pages of their own history must be the precondition for starting the negotiations of Turkey's admission into the EU.

They expressed confidence that for the conciliation of the Armenian and Turkish nations the Turkish recognition of the Armenian Genocide will have a very important role.

Many of the speakers of the conference, drawing parallels between the Armenian Genocide and the other Genocides of the 20th century, underlined that if at the beginning of the previous century the Armenian Genocide realized by the Turks were condemned, no one would dare to realize the same towards other nations.

At the end of the meeting the participants of the conference adopted an application directed to the Belgium and EU authorities calling them to demand Turkey to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
