A parliamentary body representing the European Union's member and partner states on Tuesday called for greater international recognition of the 1915 Armenian genocide and urged Turkey to "come to terms with its past."
In a resolution adopted during a session in Yerevan, the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly said "the absence of unequivocal and timely condemnation of the Armenian Genocide largely contributed to the failure to prevent future crimes against humanity."
Therefore, it said, "prevention of genocides and crimes against humanity should be amongst the priorities of the international community."The world should also strive for "the restoration of the rights of people subjected to genocide," added the assembly bringing together members of the European Parliament and legislatures of ex-Soviet states involved in the EU's Eastern Partnership program.
