Armenia welcomes the statement of the Austrian parliament on the
100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire,
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said in a statement.

"The parliament of Austria stresses that due to the historical
responsibility (the Austrian-Hungarian Empire was allied in the First
World War with the Ottoman Empire) it is their duty to recognize
the terrible events as genocide and condemn it. The parliament of
Austria in its statement stresses that it is also the duty of Turkey
to acknowledge the crimes committed against the Armenians as genocide.

"With this step Austria made an important contribution to the noble
cause of prevention of genocides and crimes against humanity,"
Nalbandian said.
