Latin American parliament recognized Armenian Genocide
STEPANAKERT, AUGUST 1, ARTSAKHPRESS-ARMENPRESS: "Among many other topics covered by Executive Board of the Latin American Parliament and the Caribbean Declaration, the recognition of the Armenian Genocide was supported almost unanimously (with one abstention)," wrote National Deputy of Montevideo Alfredo Asti a few minutes later.
"Uruguay was a pioneer in the world in this recognition 50 years ago and today we strongly supported this position." This new recognition of the crime against humanity perpetrated by the Turkish state, adds to the resolutions adopted by Parliaments in South America this year, as was the case of the Chamber of Deputies of Chile, the Federal Senate of Brazil and the State Legislature of Rio de Janeiro.
