PACE adopts statement on Armenian Genocide Centennial
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on Thursday adopted a statement on the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide.
An unprecedented number of parliamentarians - 171, representing 40 countries - signed the statement, authored by René Rouquet.
The statement notes that the lack of the clear and timely condemnation of the Armenian Genocide contributed to the failure in the prevention of further crimes against humanity such as the Holocaust and other genocides.
