SLOVAKIAN PARLIAMENT UNANIMOUSLY RECOGNIZED ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

On the initiative of the Christian-Democratic faction the Slovakian parliamentarians unanimously voted for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915. The country’s position on Turkey’s membership in EU and the issue of the Armenian Genocide recognition became the urgent items of the Slovakian parliament session agenda. The Slovakian parliament is as well supposed to appeal to all the European legislative bodies with a request to demand from Turkey the adoption of the Genocide condemning resolution as a precondition to EU membership. The Slovakian parliament speaker is preparing a speech against Turkey’s admission to the EU.
