STEPANAKERT, APRIL 22, ARTSAKHPRESS: Also, Paylan showed the photographs of these Armenian MPs one by one, and recited their names.

“Confronting [with history] means getting better,” the Armenian deputy noted. “The only place to discuss this topic is the parliament of Turkey itself. As a sign of the memory of the massacred Armenian MPs, a Turkish parliamentary commission needs to be formed, in connection with what happened to them. I respectfully bow before the memory of them all.”

Garo Paylan ended his speech by saying, “May God rest their soul,” in Armenian.
