Syrian Ambassador to Armenia: We urge all parliaments in the world to  recognize and condemn the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire

Syrian Ambassador to Armenia: We urge all parliaments in the world to  recognize and condemn the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire

ArmInfo.The resolution on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, adopted today by the Syrian parliament, confirms that the Armenian Genocide was committed by the  Ottoman Empire in the territories of Syria and Western Armenia. The  Ambassador of Syria to Armenia Mohammed Haj Ibrahim announced this at  a press conference.

"The Syrian parliament today recognized and condemned the Armenian  Genocide committed by the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century.  It also condemns any attempt by anyone to deny this crime and distort  historical truth. The resolution confirms that this crime is one of  the most cruel, most heinous crimes against humanity, "the Ambassador  emphasized.

According to Haj Ibrahim, the Syrian parliament also calls on all  parliaments of the world and the international community to recognize  and condemn the 1915 Armenian Genocide. "Today, terrorist groups that  commit terrible acts against the Syrian people are the grandchildren  of those who once committed genocide against Armenians and other  peoples. Turkey is now aggressing against Syria, and terrorist groups  operating in Idlib and elsewhere are supported from the Turkish  government, "he stressed.

The Syrian Ambassador to Armenia stated that the Armenians who  survived the Genocide and moved to Syria have always been an integral  part of Syrian society. According to him, the Armenians in Syria  continued to live in safety, preserving their religion, language and  identity. There are many churches in Syria that perpetuate the memory  of the victims of the Armenian Genocide, and this year the history of  the Armenian Genocide will appear in history textbooks.

Asked why only today the Syrian parliament adopts a resolution  recognizing the Armenian Genocide, the Ambassador replied: "This  issue has long been studied, and the Syrian government treats Syrians  of Armenian descent with all respect and sympathy. Mass pogroms of  Armenians have always been mentioned in Syria as part of those events  held in the Armenian-populated areas of Syria. In 2015, the then  speaker of the Syrian parliament took part in events dedicated to the  100th anniversary of the genocide, and this year the parliament  issued a statement stating that that genocide was committed against  Armenians. "

It should be noted that on February 13, the Syrian parliament  unanimously adopted a resolution on the recognition and condemnation  of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire. Thus, the Syrian  parliament joined the more than 30 parliaments of the world that  adopted resolutions on the recognition and condemnation of the  Armenian Genocide.

The fact of the genocide of the Armenian people in the Ottoman  Empire, whose victims in 1915 were up to 1.5 million ethnic  Armenians, is recognized by many states. Uruguay was the first in  1965, followed by France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland,  Russia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Greece, Cyprus,  Lebanon, Canada, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Vatican,  Bolivia, Czech Republic, Austria, Luxembourg. The European Parliament  and the World Council of Churches also recognized the Armenian  Genocide.
