Baku, Azerbaijan, Apr. 15
Trend:
Armenia and Turkey should use the centenary of the "Armenian genocide" to renew diplomatic relations, open the border and pave the way for economic integration, says the European Parliament in a resolution voted on Apr.15.
MEPs stress the need for Turkey to recognize the "Armenian genocide", so as to pave way for “genuine reconciliation”.
Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey's predecessor, the Ottoman Empire allegedly carried out ”genocide” against the Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915. Turkey in turn has always denied "the genocide" took place. While strengthening the efforts to promote the "genocide" in the world, Armenians have achieved its recognition by the parliaments of some countries.
